About Classic Match-3
Arrange matching gems in lines of three or more and build your score on a compact puzzle board.
Classic Match-3 is a gem-matching puzzle with a compact, tall board. Find opportunities to bring identical gems into a line and clear them to score points. The game shows a score panel, a timer and menu controls around the board.
Watch the board after each clear: falling pieces can change the next available move. Read the current on-screen instructions before assuming that every version of a gem puzzle uses the same bonuses or scoring rules.
How to play
Start a round and use the gem-selection controls to make horizontal or vertical lines of at least three matching gems. Let the board settle after each clear, then look for the next move while watching the timer.
Controls
Use the mouse to select and move gems according to the on-screen prompts. A desktop browser is recommended for this publisher-listed version.
Tips
Look at the space below a potential match. A clear that lets several gems drop can create a useful follow-up move.
