What are match 3 games?
Match 3 games are browser-based titles built around match 3-themed gameplay. Every match 3 game in the PlayKovo library is HTML5, which means it loads instantly in any modern browser with no plugin or app required.
Match-3 games ask you to swap neighboring pieces to line up three or more of the same kind, which clears them and lets new ones fall in. That one move supports a huge number of games: candy and gem boards, fruit and animal themes, levels with goals such as clearing jelly or collecting items, and endless modes where you play for score. Sets of levels are short, the colors are bright and a lucky cascade feels great, which is why the genre is so popular on phones.
How to get better at match 3 games
Every match 3 game has its own controls and mechanics. Read the "How to play" and "Controls" sections on each game page, then practice — that's the fastest way to improve.
Work from the bottom of the board upward, because matches near the bottom make pieces fall and create chain reactions for free. Look for four-in-a-row and L or T shapes, as they create special pieces that clear large areas. Check the level goal before you start moving, since clearing everything is not always the objective. Keep special pieces for the end of a level when you are close to the target, and do not use them on the first easy match.
