In an embodiment there is provided a device having a touch user interface configured to display a game board having a plurality of selectable game objects comprising tiles stored in at least one memory and displayed in a configuration on said game board, each game object having a boundary defined on the user interface, said user interface being configured to receive user input, and at least one processor in connection or communication with the at least one memory and the user interface and configured to detect a selection of a game object in response to touch user input within the game object boundary, detect a trajectory of the user input towards neighboring game objects, determine an angle of said trajectory with respect to an axis of the game board, and select at least one of the neighboring game objects in dependence on said trajectory and determined angle. The angle may be determined by comparison with predefined angular regions corresponding a game object or tile configuration.
