Match 3 tips: more points with fewer moves
Play from the bottom. Lines near the bottom make more shapes fall, and falling shapes can line up on their own: free points without spending a move.
Look for four or five. A swap that lines up four or five shapes removes more pieces with one move, at 5 points each.
Think one move ahead. Before you swap, check what will fall into place. A good chain is worth more than a quick line of three.
No rush between moves. Only swaps that make a line count, so take a second to find the best one.
