Match Three: instructions and practice
Open Match Three, check the instructions and begin a round. Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. Use the example below to understand a decision. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Look at what changes after your first action.
8×8 board, move budget, cascades and no-legal-move handling.
A focus for your next round
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What counts as success
Score 900 points in twenty-five moves. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Making your moves
- 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 to use the controls
Tap adjacent cells. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
See how the rules apply
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Where a round can go wrong
A swap making no match is reverted. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
