Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Make the next step deliberately.

The goal to keep in mind

Follow these playing steps

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap adjacent cells. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A closer look at one example
