Something to practise

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The goal to keep in mind

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

The steps to play

  1. Swap adjacent pieces to make a line of three or more.
  2. Matched pieces disappear.
  3. Falling pieces can trigger cascades.
  4. Reach the target before running out of moves.

Making selections and moves

Tap adjacent cells. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

See how the rules apply

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.

A common point of confusion

A swap making no match is reverted. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
