Your goal

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Step by step

1. Swap adjacent pieces to make a line of three or more.
2. Matched pieces disappear.
3. Falling pieces can trigger cascades.
4. 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.

A useful example

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Watch out for this

A swap making no match is reverted. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
