Match Three: rules and examples

Choose a round of Match Three and settle into its rules. Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Use the example below to understand a decision.

8×8 board, move budget, cascades and no-legal-move handling.

Take a closer look while playing

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.

Understand the aim

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Notice how the game responds to your input.

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.

Getting comfortable with the controls

Tap adjacent cells. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

Work through an example

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.

Avoid this misunderstanding

A swap making no match is reverted. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
