Match three candies to gain points - larger matches create special effects and collect wrapped candies to boost your score.

How to Play Sweet Shuffle. Click and drag a candy to an adjacent position to swap its position with another candy. You can also click a candy and then click an adjacent candy instead if you do not wish to drag. Match 3 or more candies of the same type to remove them from the board.

The objective of Sweet Shuffle is to score as many points as you can in the given moves. Swap candies horizontally or vertically to each other to form groups of 3 or more of the same candy. Once in a group, the candies will disappear and candies above them will fall. You have a limited number of moves.

Bigger is better—sometimes. If you use all six of your tiles on one word, you'll get an automatic 50-point bonus. But that's not the only way to gain an advantage. Look carefully for open x2 and x3 tiles, which double or triple the letter (if it's a blue tile) or word (if it's a red tile).

If you need a little help charging ahead, Lumeno has a number of helpful boosters like Recolor, Upgrade, Shuffle and Power Wisps to give you an edge. You'll also encounter directional boosts as you play. Draw a line through them to clear a whole row, column or 3x3 area.
