What is Hallowfold?

Hallowfold is a score-focused matching puzzle on a 5×5 board. Swipe an entire row or column one space to connect at least three identical sigils. The edge tile wraps to the other side, so a match may form where a line re-enters. Matching is based on touching cells, not only straight lines. Each valid shift must create a match immediately; a swipe that cannot do so is not a move.

Read the board before shifting

  1. Look for two neighboring sun, moon, wave, leaf or ember symbols, then test which row or column shift brings a third alongside them.
  2. A connected group of three or more clears. New tiles drop and refill the gaps; extra matches in the same move build a higher score combo.
  3. Watch the ash tiles. Normal matches beside ash can damage it, while larger groups have stronger clearing effects. Keep making match-producing shifts until none remain.

Working around ash

  • Ash and contaminated symbols do not join ordinary matches. A nearby three-symbol match may only weaken ash rather than remove it at once.
  • Because a row or column wraps around, check both ends before swiping. The last tile may become the first and complete a group.
  • The run ends when there is no valid shift left. Play again to try to improve the best score saved on this device.

Hallowfold FAQ

Do three matching symbols have to form a straight line?

No. Any orthogonally connected group of at least three identical normal sigils clears.

Why did my swipe not change the board?

Only a one-cell row or column shift that produces an immediate match is accepted.

How do I remove ash?

Make normal matches touching it. Ash can need more than one hit; larger groups have wider or stronger effects.

What ends a run?

The game checks for any remaining match-producing shifts. If there are none, the run ends and shows your score.
