One thing to notice as you play

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.

What counts as success

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Step by step

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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use one clear input at a time.

An example before you play

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.

A useful caution

A swap making no match is reverted. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
