How to play Sugar Swap Quest

Create matches of three or more candies, use cascades to multiply your score, and hit the selected level's target before the move counter reaches zero.

Core rules

Swap adjacent treats

Click one candy, then a neighboring candy. Diagonal swaps are not allowed.

Match three or more

A swap only sticks when it creates a horizontal or vertical run of at least three matching candies.

Beat the score target

Every level has a target, move limit, and a small number of manual shuffles.

Scoring tips

Plan for drops

When candies clear, pieces above them fall into place and new candies refill the top. A cascade chain adds bonus points, so the best moves often happen near the lower half of the board.

Use shuffles carefully

Manual shuffles do not score points, but they can rescue a crowded board. The game also automatically deals a fresh playable board if no legal move remains after a cascade.
