How to play & accessibility

Select any cell in a bowl, flip the next pair if needed, then Drop. Three or more equal colors in one horizontal run cook away; remaining noodles fall and may cook again. Broth needs six cooked noodles AND all four bowls must contain exactly their printed pair. Seven pairs total. Stir swaps the selected bowl with its right neighbor once and also checks runs; it spends an action, not a pair. Empty/invalid actions reject freely. Undo restores stock, spoon and broth. A full bowl rejects rather than ending the game.
