Four Rivers Strategy PuzzleFour Rivers Strategy Puzzle: In this strategy puzzle, the challenge is to identify identical tiles which can be paired and thus removed. It's a race against the clock. Less than 4 minutes is average. Less than 3 minutes is good and anything under 2 minutes is exceptional. Warning!: May be addictive! Four Rivers Puzzle

From John K. - Four Rivers: The Agony and the Ecstasy

A pox on you. If you hadn’t sent information on Four Rivers, I would not have found it. It needs a stronger warning label pertaining to the addiction. I made the mistake of introducing my wife to Four Rivers. I came back to reclaim my computer, but she wouldn’t get up. I gave her a tiny push to get her up. I understand that the cast comes off my arm on the same day that the divorce is final.

After several thousand tries, I did beat your 58 seconds. It was an anomaly, I am sure, but I got it in 55 seconds.


You've been warned. Play Four Rivers at your own risk!
