Comb the Cove

Take a little escape to the shore with Comb the Cove, a free circular match-3 puzzle filled with shells, sea glass and the sound of rolling surf. Turn a sandy ring clockwise or counterclockwise, or slide a spoke inward or outward. Line up three or more matching shore finds around a ring or along a spoke, then watch the next tide of pieces settle into place. FIND YOUR PACE - Zen: endless, untimed beachcombing with no fail state. - Journey: a coast-to-coast tour of 120 levels across twelve beaches, from Outer Banks dunes at dawn to Oregon's Haystack Rock, a Hawaiian cove and Glass Beach under the stars. Choose Relaxed, Balanced or Challenging in Settings and reach each score before the clock runs out. Missing a level sends you back to the first level of that chapter; your best scores and collected finds are kept. - Thirty Moves: plan every turn with a thirty-move allowance and no timer. - Blitz: chase your best score in sixty seconds. - Marathon: a timed challenge where every accepted move must match. Each 1,500 points raises the level and adds 45 seconds. - Daily Cove: try the same daily board as other players, with limited ranked attempts and your best accepted result counting. - Friend Duel: challenge a friend asynchronously on a shared board. A POCKET OF FINDS Match six distinct shore finds: Sea Glass, Scallop, Nautilus, Sand Dollar, Starfish and Coral. Save rounds and complete new Journey levels to fill your Beach Pocket with collectible finds, without purchases or streak requirements. MADE FOR A QUIET MOMENT Relaxing ocean ambience has its own switch, separate from sound effects and haptics. Use natural ring and spoke gestures or exact button controls. Optional hints, piece outlines, reduced motion and left- or right-hand layouts let you choose how you play. MAKE THE COVE YOURS Optional Haunted Harbor, Harvest Cove and Winter Lights theme packs add seasonal scenes, pieces, music, sound effects and bonus Journey chapters. Packs are one-time in-app purchases, with no subscription. Switch between owned themes and the original Shore in Settings. The base game and its 120-level Journey do not require a purchase. Every accepted ring turn or spoke slide must make a match of three or more. A nonmatching move slides back without subtracting points. In Thirty Moves, every attempt uses one move; in timed modes, the clock keeps running. Journey, Zen, Blitz, Thirty Moves and Marathon work without an account. Ranked Daily Cove and Friend Duel require an internet connection and an email/password account. Account deletion is available in Profile and through the support website.
