Match 3 Games

Match 3 games are types of matching games where you find 3 matching pieces and clear them from the board. Swap pieces into the right position to trigger chain reactions and create powerful boosters that clear entire rows at once.

Most games give you a limited number of moves, so planning ahead matters. The boards get trickier as you go, and one misplaced swap costs more the further you get.
