Frequently Asked Questions

What do special gems do?
Match 4 gems creates a line-clearing gem. Match 5 creates a rainbow gem that clears all gems of one color. Special combinations have unique effects!
How do combos work?
When gems fall and create new matches automatically, each consecutive match in the chain adds a score multiplier. Longer chains = bigger bonuses!
What's the best strategy?
Focus on creating special gems rather than basic 3-matches. Look for opportunities to set up chain reactions. Bottom-of-board matches often trigger cascades.
Can I swap any two gems?
Only adjacent gems can be swapped, and the swap must create at least one match of 3 or more. Invalid swaps are rejected.
