Something to practise
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Tap adjacent cells. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
Work through an example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Avoid this misunderstanding
A swap making no match is reverted. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
