Christmas Match
Christmas Match is a line-drawing puzzle played with snowmen, Santas, gift boxes, wreaths and gingerbread trees. The clock never rises above 30 seconds, and short links do not add to it, so every round comes down to whether you can keep finding long chains before it empties.
How to play Christmas Match
- Tap and hold an icon, then drag onto a touching icon of the same kind, and on to the next, linking them into a line. Finger on mobile, mouse on desktop.
- Let go to clear the chain. Three linked icons is the minimum for it to count.
- A link of three or four scores points and nothing else. A chain of five or more also adds seconds to the clock and builds a combo, X2 then X3, that multiplies your next chains.
- A short link resets the combo back to normal.
- New icons drop in from above to refill the board. The clock caps at 30 seconds, and when it hits zero the round ends with your best score saved.
Tips
- Go long. An eight-icon chain starts at 300 points plus 6 seconds, and with an X3 combo running it pays up to 1,200 points and 16 seconds.
- Do not spend a three when a five is sitting next to it. The short link gives you no time at all and knocks the combo back down.
- Keep the chains coming back to back, because the multiplier is worth more than any single big clear.
