What is Sweet Match Mania?

Sweet Match Mania is a match-3 candy puzzle on an 8x8 board with six candy types. Swap two neighbouring candies to line up three or more of the same kind, clear them and score. Each of the 50 levels gives you 50 moves to reach its goal, which is usually a target score but changes to clearing frosting, chocolate, locks or licorice on later levels. Boosters, stars, a limited supply of lives and a leaderboard add structure around the puzzles.

How a level works

  1. Pick an unlocked level on the candy map; drag the map to scroll and tap a level to open it.
  2. Optionally choose pre-game boosters, then start. Read the goal at the top of the board.
  3. Swap two adjacent candies so three or more of the same type line up. Matched candies pop, the rest fall, and chain reactions score extra.
  4. Reach the goal before the 50 moves run out. Finishing awards stars based on your score and unlocks the next level.

Obstacles and boosters

  • Frosting, chocolate, locked candies and licorice appear on different levels and change the goal to clearing them.
  • Row Blast clears a whole row, Lollipop Hammer smashes one cell or obstacle, and Free Switch swaps two adjacent candies without needing a match.
  • Pre-game boosters include +5 starting moves, a Color Bomb and a Striped & Wrapped candy.
  • Winning a level rewards a random booster, and a daily reward is offered.

Tips for clearing levels

  • Look at the whole board before swapping; setting up a match near the bottom makes candies fall into new matches.
  • On obstacle levels, matches next to an obstacle are what break it, so aim there rather than just chasing score.
  • Save boosters for goals that are close but moves are nearly gone.
  • A failed attempt costs a life, so do not rush levels you have not read.

Sweet Match Mania FAQ

How many moves do I get?

Each level starts with 50 moves. The pre-game booster Start +5 moves adds extra moves at the start.

What happens when I lose a level?

You lose one of your five lives. Lives come back over time, one every 30 minutes, and the game also offers an in-game ad to restore one.

Do all levels have the same goal?

No. Many levels ask for a target score, which rises by 30 points each level, but other levels ask you to clear frosting, chocolate, locks or licorice.

How are stars awarded?

Stars depend on how far your final score is above the level's target score. A higher score earns more of the three stars.

Is my progress saved?

Yes. Progress, boosters and lives are saved in your browser on this device.
