Match Three: learn through an example

An idea for your next attempt

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.

Aim for this result

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

Making your moves

  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.

Using the playing area

Tap adjacent cells. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Follow the example

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

One detail worth checking

A swap making no match is reverted. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
