Place colourful shapes, complete rows, columns or 3-by-3 squares, and make room for your next move. Chain your clears and see how far you can push your personal best. MAKE EVERY MOVE COUNT Drag a piece onto the board and tap to rotate it. Placement previews show what you'll clear and the points you could earn, helping you find that satisfying fit. Undo a move or refresh your pieces when you need a fresh approach. PLAY YOUR WAY Prefer tapping to dragging? Turn on tap-to-place controls to select a piece, preview a position and confirm your move.
