Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Start with a deliberate move.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Verify the rule before continuing.
Watch out for this
A swap making no match is reverted. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
