The playing sequence
- 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. 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. Keep the controls nearby.
Pay attention to this rule
A swap making no match is reverted. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
