Controls: how to switch and match candies

Making your move

Making your move in Candy Crush Saga is simple. Switch the position of two candies to make a match three or more in a horizontal or vertical line:

1. Select and Drag: Tap the candy you want to move and drag it in your desired direction. This will switch it with the candy in that spot.
2. Form a Match: If the move creates a match, then pop! The candies vanish with a satisfying crunch! More candies will then drop down into the empty spaces, ready for your next move. Tasty!

Strategy and Tips

Once you have the hang of switching the candies, the challenge is ahead to make sure you clear them with as few moves as possible. Keep an eye on the moves meter because you'll need to make sure you reach your goal before they run out!

Using Boosters

You'll also get a chance to add 'pre-game Boosters' to help you meet the goal.

• Automatic Boosters: Some boosters trigger their action automatically. Watch and enjoy the fireworks!
• Manual Boosters: For others, like the Candy Hammer, you need to select where to use them. Tap the hammer, then tap the spot on the board where you want to use it to remove the chosen candy.

Try different boosters to see how they can help you in your game. Enjoy the enhanced gameplay and achieve your goals more efficiently!
