The purpose of your moves

Keyboard and screen controls
Tap adjacent cells. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
Put the rules into context
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.
An important reminder
A swap making no match is reverted. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
