Sweet Candy Match 3

Seventeen levels, and each one is a cleaning job. The grid underneath starts dirty; a column or row of three or more matching pieces wipes what sits below. Clear every cell in time and the level is done.

A short run changes the maths. There is no long list to absorb a wasted attempt, so the corners — where matches happen least often by geometry — decide most levels. Working them while the board is still loose is the difference between finishing with time to spare and expiring two cells short.

The candy skin keeps it friendly, but the structure underneath is stricter than the art suggests: a timer, a fixed goal and no boosters to bail you out. Levels are short enough to restart without irritation, which is the right shape for a run that expects you to lose a few.

Controls

Click or tap two adjacent pieces to swap them.

How to Play

  1. Find where the dirty cells are before your first move.
  2. Swap two neighbours to make a column or row of three or more.
  3. Start with the corners and edges while options are plentiful.
  4. Clear every dirty cell before time runs out.

Tips & Tricks

Track how many dirty cells are left rather than how the board looks. Once it is down to a handful, any match that misses them is a wasted move — and at that point the board rarely offers many.
