Tap a piece, then stack matching colors.

How to play

One small move. A growing stack.

Start with a blue 3. Two matching tiles make 5. One more makes it Bloom.

  1. A blue stack of 3 beside two newly placed blue tiles, each worth 1.
    A stack of 3 + two blue tiles

    Place a piece

    Every tile in your piece needs an empty cell. Put matching colors beside each other.

  2. The three blue cells have gathered into one blue stack of 5, leaving the source cells empty.
    One stack of 5. Two spaces back.

    Watch it gather

    Touching tiles of the same color gather into one stack. The number is their total; the other cells become empty.

  3. A blue tile joins the stack of 5. The final stack reaches 6 and blooms, leaving the cells empty.
    5 + 1 = 6. The stack clears.

    Reach 6. Bloom.

    Add one more matching tile beside the 5. They gather, reach 6, and Bloom to open space.

A little planning

Make room for the next move

There is no rush. Look at the whole tray before choosing a space.

A stack is almost ready

A 4 or 5 is a useful place for a matching single or duo. Leave an empty neighbor so you can reach it.

Predict the gather point

A large piece needs a home

Check the largest tray piece first. Keeping connected empty spaces helps a triple or quad fit later.

Try the space puzzle

Two stacks share a color

An empty cell between them can be a bridge. A matching tile there can gather both stacks into one.

A few puzzle answers

Playing help (new tab)
What does the + on a piece mean?

It marks a gather point for a repeated color in that piece. When those matching tiles connect, they gather toward the marked tile. The same + stays visible while you drag.

Gather points and connections (new tab)
Why is the preview red?

At least one tile would cover an occupied cell or land outside the board. Nothing is placed. Select a piece again and choose open space; you cannot place directly on top of a stack.

Placement checklist (new tab)
Why did two matching stacks stay separate?

They need a path of touching, same-color tiles. Matching colors elsewhere on the board do not gather together.

Check the connecting path (new tab)
What happens above 6?

A stack of 7 or more still gathers into one tile before it Blooms. It earns an extra score bonus and counts as an Overbloom in your result.

When does a game end?

When none of the remaining tray pieces can fit on the board. Each new tray has three pieces, with shapes of 1 to 4 tiles as the game grows. There is no timer.

Where are my records saved?

Can I play without dragging or sound?

Yes. Tap a tray piece, then tap the board to place it. Sound starts off and can be switched on with the music-note button. You can undo one move when Undo is available.
