How a round unfolds

  2. Matched pieces disappear.
  3. Falling pieces can trigger cascades.
  4. Reach the target before running out of moves.

How to use the 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.

Try this example

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

A swap making no match is reverted. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
