Written guidesPDF guides for the games covered here
Every guide on this site is free to read and always will be. If you want the same material as a document you can print or keep open on a second screen — worked boards, full power-up references, objective checklists — each game has a PDF, ordered through the request form below.
How buying works here, in one paragraph. There is no shopping cart, no checkout and no payment form anywhere on ivorycinder.com. You send a request through the form below saying which PDF you want. Noah Williams replies by email confirming the order and how to pay. Once payment has cleared, the PDF is emailed to you. No card number, bank detail or wallet credential is ever entered on this website — no form here asks for one, and nothing other than PDF documents is sold.
One PDF per game
Each guide covers a single game in full: every power-up and combination, the objective types that need a different approach, worked example boards, and notes on the stretches where most players stall.
- Order-list reading: the routine that stops moves being wasted on fruit you have enough of
- Every special piece and what each combination clears
- Obstacle reference — coverings, crates and locked pieces, and what frees each
- Scarcity planning: which required fruit to chase first and why
- Firecracker, bomb and rainbow blast — the exact shapes that build each one
- The full combination table, with what every pairing clears
- Objective types: apple drops, grass clearing and collection levels, each with its own opening
- Star planning — how to spend so the garden never looks like a building site
- Every power-up and combination, with the board situations that suit each
- Coin planning: extra moves versus decorating, and how to decide before you are frustrated
- Objective-by-objective opening moves for each level type
- The mid-game difficulty step and the habit change that gets you through it
