Tricky Test 2 Level 69

Overview

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 3

The screen shows a tall cream-colored candle in the center with a wick on top, and a single wooden match with a red head lying near the lower-left. The prompt reads "Light up the candle." There is no visible matchbox on screen, which is the whole trick: the matchbox is hidden off-screen at the edge, and you have to find it before you can strike the match.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Notice that no matchbox is visible anywhere on screen.
2. Drag or pull from the top-right edge of the screen inward to reveal a matchbox that is hidden off-screen at the edge.
3. Once the matchbox is visible, drag the single match across the rough striking strip on the side of the matchbox to light it.
4. Bring the burning match to the candle's wick at the top of the candle.
5. The candle lights with a flame and the level completes, showing the hint "Sometimes we like to hide things by the edges of the screen :)"

Strategy & Reasoning

The game hides objects just outside the screen boundary and expects you to drag them into view. The matchbox is not missing — it is parked off the right edge. Without striking the match on the matchbox's abrasive side, the match will not ignite, and you cannot light the candle. The candle itself cannot be lit by tapping it directly. The hidden matchbox is the key resource; once you find it, the rest of the puzzle is a realistic chain: strike the match, then touch the wick. The closing hint explicitly tells you that objects are hidden by the edges of the screen.

The candle is a tall cream-colored rectangle with a small wick on top. The single match has a pale wooden shaft and a red head. After you drag the matchbox out from the top-right edge, it appears as a rectangular box with several match tips visible. Rubbing the red head of the loose match across the box's rough strip produces a spark and ignites it. You then touch the burning match to the candle wick, and a flame appears. The hint text "Sometimes we like to hide things by the edges of the screen :)" confirms the off-screen hiding mechanic.

The order matters: you must reveal the matchbox before you can strike the match, and you must strike the match before you can light the candle. Tapping the wick with an unlit match does nothing. The matchbox slides in from the top-right corner when you pull from that edge. Once lit, the match stays burning long enough to touch the wick. The candle flame appears as a small yellow teardrop, and the level completes.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Tapping the candle wick directly. The candle will not light on its own; you need a flame.
• Rubbing the match against the background. Striking the match against the empty background does not light it; it must touch the matchbox's rough strip.
• Forgetting to look off-screen. The matchbox is hidden at the top-right edge; drag from that edge to reveal it.
• Burning yourself on the wrong side. Strike the red head of the match across the matchbox's side, not the wooden stick.
