How to play

Swap two sweets that sit next to each other to line up three or more of the same kind. Drag one across, or tap one and then tap its neighbour — both work.

What a longer line earns you

Three clears the three.
Four in a line cuts a striped sweet. It fires across the line you made — a sideways four clears a column, an upright four clears a row. That way it opens a fresh line instead of sweeping up where you have just been.
An L or a T makes a wrapped sweet. It blows a three-by-three hole, waits for the tray to fill, then blows it again.
Five in a line makes a humbug. Swap it with any sweet to clear every one of that flavour on the tray.

The jelly frog

Some trays have a jelly frog sitting in them. He is not a sweet: he never matches and nothing can pop him.

Feed him. Clear sweets of his flavour in one of the four squares around him and he eats them, growing as he goes. The counter under the tray says how many more he wants.
Drop him. Once he is full, tap him to pick him up, then tap any square on the tray. He hops there and bursts, taking everything around him with him. It costs you no move — the moves went on feeding him.
Or hold your nerve. Keep feeding him after he is ready and the burst goes from three-by-three to five-by-five. After he lands he shrinks back down and takes a new flavour.

Putting two together

Striped + striped — clears a full row and a full column.
Striped + wrapped — three rows and three columns at once.
Wrapped + wrapped — a five-by-five crater.
Humbug + striped — every sweet of that flavour turns striped, then fires.
Humbug + wrapped — every sweet of that flavour turns wrapped, then fires.
Humbug + humbug — the whole tray.

What each level asks for

A target — reach the score before the moves run out.
An order — clear a set number of a flavour. It is listed under the counter.
Covered squares — some trays have waxed paper on them. Match on a square to take a layer off; the paler ones need clearing twice. Clear them all and the level is done, whatever the score says.

House rules

The score never fails you. Finish what the level asked for and you have passed. Score only decides how many stars you get.
Every board is dealt with at least four legal moves already on it, and reshuffles in front of you — and tells you — if it ever runs out. No level is unwinnable.
A swap that does not match costs you nothing.
Chains score more as they go — the deeper a cascade runs, the bigger the multiplier.
Moves you did not need turn into striped sweets and all go off at once.
Nothing on the tray moves unless you ask. Press the bulb if you want a move pointed out.
Beaten the same level five times running? The shop will offer to let you past it.
You get five lives. Failing a level costs one, and at zero that run is over — but every level you cleared stays cleared, and starting a fresh run is one free tap. There is no timer to wait out and nothing to buy, ever.
No ads on the tray. This site may show display ads around the shop once keys are live. No purchases. No account.
Progress is kept in this browser only. Nothing is sent anywhere.

If the sweets are hard to tell apart

Every flavour has its own shape as well as its own colour, so the tray reads without relying on colour at all. The larger sweets button on the play screen gives you bigger targets.
