8×8 board, move budget, cascades and no-legal-move handling.
Build a steady rhythm
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. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
A useful example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Read the matching step again.
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. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
