Review a difficult moment
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A useful 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.
Watch out for this
A swap making no match is reverted. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
