About Candy Match 3
Candy Match 3 (titled "Candy Super Match 3" in-game) is a sugar-rush match-3 puzzle. The board is stacked with pinwheel lollipops, orange slices, chocolate squares, striped sweets, and jelly beans — swap any two neighbors to line up 3 or more of a kind and watch them pop. Every match feeds your score (210 points within the first two moves of testing, thanks to a bottom-row cascade), while the game tracks your moves, your level, and your time. It's the classic match-3 loop in a candy wrapper: easy to start, and always one clever swap away from a chain reaction.

- Cleared candies are replaced from above — chain reactions (cascades) score bonus points.
- The side counters track your Score, Moves, Level, and Time as you play.
Candy Match 3 strategy and gameplay tips
Start at the bottom
Work the bottom of the board — matches low down make everything above tumble, and tumbling candies are where free cascades come from.
Look beyond the first match
Don't grab the first match you see — a second of scanning often finds the swap that triggers two matches instead of one.
Make larger matches
Bigger matches pay bigger — when a 4- or 5-candy line is one swap away, it's worth more than two separate 3-matches.
Set up the next cascade
Set up, don't just clear — leave near-matches in place so the next candy drop completes them for bonus cascade points.
