Match Three: from controls to your first round
Make Match Three your next activity in the game library. Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Look at what changes after your first action.
8×8 board, move budget, cascades and no-legal-move handling.
Bring this focus to a round
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
Aim for this result
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Take a moment to understand the current position.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Using the playing area
Tap adjacent cells. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A closer look at one example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
An important reminder
A swap making no match is reverted. Check the rule before repeating the action. 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.
