Match Three: how a round works

Bring your attention to one round of Match Three. 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.

A focus for your next round

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

The purpose of your moves

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

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.

Using the playing area

Tap adjacent cells. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

An example to follow

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.

Pay attention to this rule

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.
