With manual configuration appears a playing field with the maximum number of smilies (see left picture).
By tapping a smilie this smilie and if applicable the smilie(s) above will be removed.

This creates an output similar to the random configuration (see right picture).

With press the playing button the configuration terminates.

Highscore

Here the results are displayed for each game partner.
Smiling Smilie - player has won this score.
Sad Smilie - player loses with this score.

For the highscore count all smilies on the playing field when the game starts.

Two columns with identical number of smilies do not count, because in this case normally the player who begins loses. Otherwise, it would be easy to create simply to be won configurations. Example of counting see table below.
The number of smilies are counted under the condition that there is no other column with the same number of smilies.
