LIKE TERMS MATCH

Swap nodes to align 3 or more like terms and simplify them!

1. PRONUMERAL

The variable part (e.g., x, y, x²). Like terms must share the exact same pronumeral and power.

2. COEFFICIENT

The number in front (e.g., -4 in -4x). Coefficients don't matter when matching — only the variable matters!

3. CONSTANT

Numbers with no variable (e.g., 9, -3, i² = -1). Constants always match other constants.

Special Blocks:
• PEMDAS Bombs (gold) — clear entire row + column when triggered by adjacent matches
• Divide-by-Zero Traps (red) — can't be matched directly; clear them with adjacent matches or lose shields
• Scaffolding — colours and shapes gradually fade as you level up
