Play Jam Jar Match

How to play Jam Jar Match

Drag a sticky jam line through matching fruit, close loops and fill every jar before your moves run out.

1. Press Play. The jars above the board show what to collect and how many; the red badge shows the moves you have.
2. Press on a fruit and drag through 3 or more matching fruits that touch up, down, left or right (not diagonally). Drag back along the line to undo a link.
3. Let go to clear the chain. Each chain uses one move, the fruit flies into its jar and new fruit falls in from the top.
4. Link back into a fruit already in your line to close a loop: every fruit of that kind on the board clears.
5. Chains of 6 or 7 leave a glowing spoon that clears its row or column; 8 or more leave a jam-jar bomb. Link a special into any chain to set it off.
6. Later levels add gingham cloth (clear fruit on it to wash it away; dark gingham needs two washes), honey drops (clear the fruit under them until they reach the bottom row) and sugar cubes (clear fruit next to them; big lumps need two hits).
7. Fill every jar before your moves run out to clear the level. Moves left become bonus points and decide the stars; run out first and you can try again.
