How the St. Patrick's Day Board Works
Every tile on this board is part of St. Patrick's Day. The set has a four-leaf clover, a rainbow, a bag of gold, a top hat, a boot and a fairy, along with a green heart, a frog, a snake, a castle and a sheep. Potatoes, bread, leafy greens, broccoli, cucumber and a green apple fill out the table, and a fiddle, a drum and a party popper bring the music. Each board shows 12 tiles, and exactly two of them match. Click both to score, and a new board appears.
This is the greenest board on the site, so the matching pair hides among shades of green from the first board on. You have 60 seconds, a wrong click costs 2 seconds, and your best St. Patrick's Day score is saved separately from the other modes.

Tips for the St. Patrick's Day Board
- Not everything green is a clover. The clover, leafy greens, broccoli, cucumber and green apple all share a color. Look at the shape first.
- Find the odd colors. The rainbow, the gold, the castle and the drum stand out against all the green, so they are quick to rule in or out.
- Frog and snake. Both are green animals, but the frog is a round face and the snake is long and coiled.
