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
- Swap adjacent pieces to make a line of three or more.
- Matched pieces disappear.
- Falling pieces can trigger cascades.
- 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.
