An idea for your next attempt

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. Make the next step deliberately.

What the game asks you to do

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The playing sequence

  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.

How to use the controls

Tap adjacent cells. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.

Put the rules into context

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the controls nearby.

An important reminder

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.
