Om Nom Connect Christmas
Om Nom Connect Christmas
Om Nom Connect Christmas dresses up a familiar puzzle format in wrapping paper and fairy lights. The board is scattered with tiles — Om Nom and his monster friends alongside candies, gifts, and other seasonal treats — and your job is to clear it by pairing up identical tiles. The catch is that you can only connect two matching tiles if there's an open path between them, so pieces sitting in awkward spots can block a pair you'd otherwise clear in an instant. Figuring out which tile to remove first so the rest fall into reach is really the whole game, and it turns what looks like a simple matching exercise into something with real puzzle-solving underneath. When a level has you cornered, a magnifying glass hint points out a pair you can still connect. With Om Nom's candy-loving cast (originally from the Cut the Rope games) doing the holiday theming, it's a relaxed, cheerful puzzle that's easy to pick up for a level or two at a time.
How to play Om Nom Connect Christmas
Goal
- Clear the entire board by matching pairs of identical tiles before you run out of moves or time.
Making a connection
- Click one tile, then click a second tile that shows the exact same image.
- The pair only clears if there's a path between them that isn't blocked by other tiles.
- Cleared tiles open up new paths, so removing the right pair first can unlock several more matches.
When you're stuck
- Tap the magnifying glass icon to reveal a pair you can currently connect.
Tips and strategy
Look along the edges and corners of the board first — tiles there usually have fewer tiles blocking their paths, so they're often the safest matches to clear early and the ones most likely to open things up. Before matching a pair sitting in the middle of a cluster, check whether removing a different, more isolated pair first would free up a cleaner path. Try to spot pairs that are boxed in on all sides; those need attention sooner rather than later, since waiting can leave you with no legal path to reach them at all. Save the magnifying glass hint for levels where you've genuinely run out of visible options, since working out the path yourself is most of the fun.

Frequently asked questions
Do the two tiles need to be right next to each other?
No. They just need an unobstructed path connecting them — the tiles can be far apart on the board as long as nothing blocks the line between them.
What does the magnifying glass do?
It highlights one pair of tiles that you can still legally connect, which helps when the board looks jammed up.
Who is Om Nom?
Om Nom is the candy-obsessed little monster best known from the Cut the Rope games, and he's the star of this holiday-themed puzzle.
What happens if I clear the board before time runs out?
You finish the level and move on to the next holiday-themed layout of tiles.
Is this the same as a mahjong tile game?
It uses a similar matching-and-path idea as classic connect and mahjong-style puzzles, but with Om Nom's own set of characters and candies instead of traditional tiles.
