Swap adjacent gems to line up three or more of the same color and clear them so new gems cascade down from above. Chaining combos and clearing tough tiles before you run out of moves is where the real points hide.
How to play Match-3
- Look for two or more same-colored gems sitting near each other.
- Swap an adjacent gem to line up three or more in a row or column.
- Watch matched gems clear and new ones fall to fill the gaps.
- Set up cascades and combos to score big before your moves run out.
Tips & strategy
- Match near the bottom of the board to trigger longer falling cascades.
- Look for swaps that create four- or five-gem lines for special clears.
- Scan the whole board before moving; the obvious match isn't always the best one.
Controls: Tap or drag to swap two adjacent gems.
