Christmas 2019 Match 3
Sixteen festive levels, each one a grid to scrub clean before the clock stops.
Sixteen levels is a short, honest run, and this one uses every one of them. The grid starts dirty, festive symbols sit on top, and a column or row of three or more identical ones wipes what lies beneath. When the last cell is clean, the level is done.
Locked symbols carve the board into sections. They will not move for anything, so a corner reachable from only one side has to be dealt with while you still have options — leave it and no amount of clearing elsewhere brings it back.
Shaped symbols arm the specials, and on a run this brief there is no reason to hoard them. Sixteen levels do not reward a saved-up advantage; they reward finishing the board in front of you.
Controls
Click or tap two adjacent symbols to swap them.
How to Play
- Find the dirty cells — those are the level, not the symbols.
- Make a column or row of three or more identical Christmas symbols above them.
- Work around the locked symbols, starting with the sections they wall off.
- Fire the specials as you earn them; the run is too short to save.
Tips & Tricks
Attack the walled-off corners in the first half of every level. The open middle stays clearable to the last second, but a section with one entrance has only a handful of chances, and they all come early.
