Give this approach a try
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
The goal to keep in mind
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The order of play
- 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.
How your actions work
Tap adjacent cells. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Put the rules into context
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
A swap making no match is reverted. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
