Is every level solvable?

Yes. Each is built backwards from the empty shelf and checked by playing its stored solution.

No. Cleared spaces simply become empty.

What counts as a line?

Three or more identical items next to each other, across or down.

Swap items on a shelf to line up three of a kind and clear the whole shelf in as few swaps as you can. A daily puzzle and 30 levels.

A real run of the game, recorded with captions and no sound.

Items sit on a grid of shelf spaces, with some spaces empty.
Tap an item, then a neighbouring space or item, to swap them. You cannot swap two identical items.
Three or more identical items in a line, across or down, are cleared. Clear every item to win.
Each level has a move limit just above a known solution. Undo takes back a swap.

Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.

Move an item into an empty space to bring a line together without disturbing others.
Check which swaps would clear two groups at once.
Be careful: a swap can accidentally clear a group you wanted to use.
Plan from the end: which three items must meet last?

Is every level solvable?: Yes. Each is built backwards from the empty shelf and checked by playing its stored solution.
Do items fall?: No. Cleared spaces simply become empty.
What counts as a line?: Three or more identical items next to each other, across or down.
