Jewel Column
Guide falling columns of three jewels and line up three of a colour across, down or diagonally to clear them in cascades.
How to play
- A column of three jewels falls into the well. Move it left or right and swap the order of the three jewels.
- When it lands, any line of three or more matching jewels clears, whether across, down or diagonal.
- Jewels above a gap fall down, and that can clear more lines. Each step in a cascade scores more.
- The game ends when the stack reaches the top. The speed rises as you clear more jewels.
Tips and strategy
- Keep the well flat. Tall stacks are hard to fix and leave little room to move.
- Diagonals are easy to miss. Look for them when you cannot find a row or column.
- Swap the order of the jewels while the column is still high, before you commit to a spot.
- Setting up a cascade is worth more than clearing quickly, since each step in the chain scores extra.
FAQ
- What are the keyboard controls?
- Arrow keys move, Up swaps the jewel order, Down falls faster, and Space drops the column at once.
- How do cascades score?
- Every jewel cleared scores 10 times the step number, so the second step of a cascade scores double.
