About Match Three
Swap neighbouring stones to make lines of three or more. The chutes show the next three stones above every column, letting you plan cascades. Longer matches create special stones. Choose endless play, a timed bench or thirty moves.
How to play
- Goal
- Swap stones to line up three or more and score.
- How it ends
- Endless ends when no swap is left and your shuffles are spent, or when you end it; One Minute after sixty seconds; Thirty Moves after thirty swaps.
- Record
- The ten best scores on each bench, each one a watchable replay.
- Tap a stone and then its neighbour, or drag one at the other. A swap that makes no line springs back and costs nothing.
- Read the chutes above the board — the stone you can see coming is the one that finishes the line you are about to open.
- Each step of a cascade is worth more than the one before, up to eight times. A run that is paused or left keeps its score and loses its place.

Good to know
The ten best runs on each bench are kept, and each one keeps its replay. A paused run keeps out of them. Settings are saved in this browser.
