An idea for your next attempt
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.
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.
How to use the controls
Tap adjacent cells. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
A swap making no match is reverted. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
