Bring this focus to a round
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
The controls to know
Tap adjacent cells. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use one clear input at a time.
Follow the example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
Avoid this misunderstanding
A swap making no match is reverted. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
