- Falling pieces can trigger cascades.

Controls
Tap adjacent cells. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
A swap making no match is reverted. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
