How to play Jewels

Click a gem and then an orthogonally adjacent gem to swap them — or drag one gem toward its neighbour. If the swap lines up three or more matching gems in a row or column they clear, the gems above fall down and new ones drop in from the top. Chains that trigger more matches cascade for extra points. A swap that makes no match simply snaps back.

Jewels — frequently asked questions

How do I swap two gems?

Tap one gem to select it, then tap a neighbouring gem to trade places. You can also drag a gem in the direction you want it to move.

What is a cascade?

When cleared gems fall and the newly dropped gems form fresh matches, they clear too — each chained step in the cascade is worth progressively more points.

Can the board get stuck?

No — if no valid swap remains, the board automatically reshuffles so you can always keep playing.
