Gem Swap couldn’t start in this browser. Updating it, or trying a current Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Safari, should fix it.
Your game is saved, so you can close the tab and come back to it.
Swap two neighboring gems to line up three or more of the same kind, across or down. Matched gems shatter, the ones above fall into the gaps, and anything that lines up on the way down counts too, for more points with every step of the cascade.
Swap two special gems into each other for something bigger. Two Flares make a huge blast, a Flare and a Cross clear three rows and three columns, and a Prism turns every gem of the other’s kind into a copy of it. Two Prisms clear the board.
Click a gem and then a neighbor, or drag a gem toward the one you want to swap with. On a keyboard, the arrow keys move, Enter picks a gem and an arrow key swaps it. H shows a hint and Esc pauses.
