Foundation level — for new players and casual solvers

One- and two-move tactics where the winning idea sits close to the surface. Ideal for building board vision and confidence.

How to train at this level

Solve slowly and say the full line out loud before moving. Accuracy matters far more than speed at this stage; a steady 90% success rate is worth more than racing through twice as many puzzles.
