About Collapse

Choose a matching group, remove it, and watch the surviving tiles fall down and slide together. Plan ahead to make larger groups and leave no lonely tiles.

Play 180 fixed boards across 3 board sizes. Daily visits the same collection with a separate dated Top 10.

How to play

Goal
Clear matching groups for a higher score.
How it ends
Empty the tray, or finish when no group remains.
Record
Best score and first-clear time. Top ten offers retained replays; watching makes this board practice.
  1. Choose a numbered board or Daily. Select at least 2 matching tiles joined along their sides. Diagonal contacts do not count.
  2. Tap the selected group again, or choose Remove. Every tile in that connected group disappears. Remaining tiles fall down, then empty columns close to the left.
  3. A group of n tiles scores (n−1)² points. Clear the whole tray for 1000 extra points. Newly joined groups wait for your next move.
  4. The run ends when the tray is empty or no matching group remains. Both endings keep a score; only a first clear can enter the time Top 10.
  5. Undo makes the route practice. Restart keeps the same board and running clock. Leaving, reloading or watching a replay makes resumed play practice.

Tips

  • Think about the last tiles Keep a partner for each colour. Removing a separator can join groups that began far apart.
  • Try a different order A larger group earns more than several small groups, but leaving one isolated tile loses the clear bonus.

Good to know

Progress stays in this browser. Reopened attempts are practice. Only the first clear may rank time; same-page restarts may improve score. Daily shares the numbered board’s study history. Watching a replay makes later play practice. Motion, effects and music have separate switches. If saving fails, keep the page open to play locally.

Questions

Can I remove a single tile?

No. A group needs at least 2 matching tiles connected along their sides.

Is Daily a new board?

Daily chooses from the numbered collection, visiting every board before repeating. It has a separate dated Top 10, but shares the board’s study history.
