How to play Match Three

Start Match Three by looking at the playing area and its controls. Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Use the example below to understand a decision.

8×8 board, move budget, cascades and no-legal-move handling.

Try a more deliberate round

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

Understand the aim

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.

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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

One way to understand the rules

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Notice the change in the playing area.

A common point of confusion

A swap making no match is reverted. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
