Build familiarity through play

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Notice the feedback after each input.

The goal to keep in mind

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.

How to proceed

  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.

How to interact with the game

Tap adjacent cells. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Learn from a sample situation

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.

One detail worth checking

A swap making no match is reverted. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
