Rules & Scoring
Game Rules
- 1You have 30 moves per game - each swap counts as one move
- 2Swaps must create a match of 3 or more same-colored candies in a row or column
- 3Invalid swaps (no match created) are reversed and still cost a move
- 4Matched candies are removed and new random candies fall from above
- 5Chain reactions (cascades) happen automatically when falling candies create new matches
- 6The game ends when you run out of moves
Scoring System
Each matched candy scores 10 points. Matching 4 candies scores 40, matching 5 scores 50. Cascade chains multiply your score - second cascade is worth double, third is triple, and so on. A good score is 500+, expert players aim for 1000+.
Tips & Strategies
Beginner
- Always scan the entire board before making a move - don't just match the first thing you see
- Look for matches near the bottom of the grid first - they create more cascades as candies fall
- Try to match 4 or 5 candies instead of just 3 for higher scores
- Watch for chain reactions after each match - sometimes the best move triggers multiple cascades
Advanced
- Set up cascade chains by creating near-matches above your target swap
- Focus on the bottom rows to maximize the cascade effect from falling candies
- Look for T-shaped and L-shaped match opportunities that clear more candies at once
- Count your remaining moves and adjust strategy - aggressive early, efficient later
- Prioritize moves that affect the most candies on the board
Pro
- Plan 2-3 moves ahead to set up multi-cascade chain reactions
- Learn to spot color clusters that can be unlocked with a single strategic swap
- Master the cascade effect: a well-placed bottom-row match can trigger 4-5 chain reactions
- Aim for 1000+ points by consistently creating 4+ candy matches and cascades

Frequently Asked Questions
Sweet Match is a puzzle game where players compete to achieve the highest score. The game features intuitive controls, progressive difficulty, and engaging gameplay mechanics. Simply use your keyboard, touch screen, or gamepad to control the action and complete objectives.
Click on a candy to select it (it gets a white border), then click an adjacent candy to swap them. If the swap creates a line of 3 or more matching colors horizontally or vertically, those candies disappear and you score points. New candies fall from the top to fill the gaps. You have 30 moves to score as high as possible.
The game ends when you use all 30 moves. Your final score is displayed and you can start a new game. The key is making every swap count - try to create matches that trigger chain reactions for bonus points rather than simple 3-candy matches.
Each matched candy scores 10 points. So a 3-candy match gives 30 points, a 4-candy match gives 40, and a 5-candy match gives 50. The real scoring power comes from cascade chains - when falling candies create new matches automatically. Cascades multiply your points, so a single well-placed swap can earn hundreds of points.
Cascades happen when candies falling after a match create a new match automatically. For example, you match 3 red candies, they disappear, new candies drop in, and those new candies happen to form another match. This continues until no more matches form. Focus on making matches near the bottom of the board to maximize cascade potential.
Yes! Sweet Match works great on mobile devices. Simply tap a candy to select it, then tap an adjacent candy to swap. The 8x8 grid scales to fit your screen. No app download needed - play directly in your mobile browser on iPhone, iPad, or Android.

Beginners typically score 200-400 points. Intermediate players reach 500-800 by making strategic swaps. Expert players consistently hit 1000+ by mastering cascade chains and planning moves ahead. The theoretical maximum depends on how many cascades you can trigger.
Swaps are only valid if they create a match of 3 or more same-colored candies. If your swap doesn't create any match, it gets reversed automatically. Note that reversed swaps still count as a move, so choose carefully!
Sweet Match features 6 different candy colors on the 8x8 grid: red, teal, yellow, mint, purple, and orange. Each color appears roughly equally, giving you plenty of matching opportunities in every game.
No time limit! Sweet Match is move-based, not time-based. You have 30 moves to score as high as possible, and you can take as long as you want to plan each move. This makes it a relaxing puzzle game you can play at your own pace.
