Match 3 Berry Puzzle

Match 3 is a berry-themed puzzle: swap neighbouring pieces, line up three or more of a kind. There is no timer — only moves are limited — so take your time.

The board is 8×8, you have 25 moves and the goal is to score 3000 points and collect 20 strawberries. Four in a row make a striped piece, five make a rainbow one. A swap without a match costs no move, cascades push the score multiplier up to ×2, and stars depend on the moves you have left. Hint and Shuffle help when you cannot see a move, and your best score is saved.

Tips:
1. Work the bottom rows — new pieces fall from above.
2. Save striped pieces for the ice.
3. Swap a rainbow piece with the most common colour.
4. The ice sits in the centre: make matches next to it.
5. Save moves — leftovers earn stars.

FAQ:
— Is there a timer in this match 3 game? No, only moves are limited.

How to play:
Swap two neighbouring pieces. Three or more of a kind in a row or column disappear and new pieces fall from above. A swap without a match does not cost a move. The goal is shown at the top: score the points and collect the strawberries before your 25 moves run out. Four in a row make a striped piece, five make a rainbow one. Ice breaks when a piece on it or next to it disappears. If you pause for 5 seconds, the game highlights a possible move.

Desktop: drag a piece towards a neighbour with the mouse, or click one piece and then its neighbour.
Phone: swipe from a piece towards a neighbour, or tap two pieces in turn. Hint and Shuffle sit on the booster panel.
