About Candy Crush

Match-three is the most-played puzzle format in the world, and Candy Crush is the game that made it a phenomenon: swap two adjacent candies to line up three or more of a colour, they vanish, everything above falls, and sometimes that fall clears more by itself. King released it in 2012; this page runs a browser match-3 in the same mould, playable without an account or an app.

The depth comes from the specials. Four in a row makes a striped candy that clears a whole line; five in an L or T makes a wrapped candy that explodes twice; five in a straight line makes a colour bomb that removes every candy of one colour. Combining two specials is where the big cascades come from.

How to play Candy Crush

Swap

Touch

Restart

The restart button when you run out of moves

1. Swap two adjacent candies to make a line of three or more of the same colour.
2. Matched candies disappear and the ones above drop down, which can trigger free cascades.
3. Four in a row creates a striped candy; five in an L or T creates a wrapped one; five in a row creates a colour bomb.
4. Each level has a goal — a score, a number of jellies to clear, or ingredients to drop — and a move limit.

Candy Crush tips

• Play from the bottom of the board. Matches low down cause cascades; matches at the top change nothing beneath them.
• Don't cash in a special the moment you make it — look for a second special to combine it with.
• A colour bomb plus a striped candy turns every candy of that colour into stripes. It is the strongest move in the game.
• When stuck, look for the swap that creates the most falling, not the biggest immediate match.
