How to play Match 3
The board is an 8×8 grid of fruits. Tap (or click) one fruit to select it, then tap an adjacent fruit to swap them. If the swap lines up three or more identical fruits in a row or column, they pop and you score points; fruits above fall down and new ones drop in from the top, which can trigger chain combos worth double, triple and more.
You have 30 moves per game. Every swap that creates a match uses one move — swaps that don't match simply bounce back for free. When you run out of moves, your final score is saved and you can start a new game instantly.
Tips for a higher score
- Work from the bottom of the board — cascades are more likely to trigger there.
- Look for "near misses": two matching fruits with a third one move away.
- Save swaps that could set up two matches at once — overlapping lines score once per fruit.
- Chain combos multiply fast: a cascade of 3 pays 6× the base points. Patience beats speed.
