Play Halves online: rules and tips

How to play Halves

• Press and drag across the shape to aim a straight cut. Keep holding to adjust it; release to cut.
• Aim for two equal areas. A perfect 50/50 split scores 100%; a 60/40 split scores 80%.
• You get one cut per shape. A line that misses does not count. If a cut makes several pieces, all the pieces on each side count together.
• Cut all three shapes to finish. Your final score is the average of the three percentages. Take your time.
• Everyone gets the same daily shapes. Difficulty builds from Gentle on Monday to Extreme on Sunday.

Your first useful move

Compare the area on each side of your planned line. Drag through the whole shape and release once. All three cuts contribute equally to your percentage average.
