Match Three · How to play
Match Three begins with a neighboring swap. Build a straight group of matching gems, then watch how clearing and gravity open the next opportunity.
Controls
Tap two neighboring gems to swap them.
Rules & goal
- Select neighboring gems to swap them.
- Form a horizontal or vertical group of at least three matching colors.
- Cleared gems are replaced and may trigger a cascade. Follow the game’s score and round prompts.
Beginner tips
- Consider useful swaps lower on the board, where falling pieces can affect more rows.
- Check both ends of the swap rather than only the gem you first selected.
Progress & devices
Play in a desktop or mobile browser using the controls above. Some games save only in the current browser; clearing site data can remove saves. Pause when stepping away. Reloading is not guaranteed to preserve the current round.
