Swap adjacent cells to line up 3 or more of the same color.
A 6×6 grid of colored cells.
Tap a cell to select it, then tap an adjacent cell to swap. The swap only succeeds if it creates a line of 3+ same-colored cells.
Matched cells disappear, new ones fall from above, and chain reactions are possible.
The first valid swap starts a 30-second timer.
Goal: remove as many cells as you can.
With only thirty seconds, every swap should do more than clear three cells. Before committing, scan for moves that drop new pieces into ready-made matches above, because a single chain reaction can clear a dozen cells while you do nothing. The board is constantly refilling, so the best players read the colours waiting above the gap, not just the row in front of them.
Work the lower rows when you can, since clearing from the bottom makes the whole column fall and recombine, multiplying your chances of an accidental cascade. Always keep half an eye out for "almost lines" — three of a colour bent into an L or split by one cell — because those are the cheap one-move clears. When nothing obvious jumps out, make any valid swap rather than freezing; in a timed board, a steady stream of small matches beats hunting for the perfect combo.
