Know the goal in Match Three

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Match Three. Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. 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

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Keep the objective visible.

Your goal

Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

The steps to play

  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. 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.

One way to understand the rules

A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.

An important reminder

A swap making no match is reverted. Compare the situation with the worked example. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
