About Jewels Connect

Jewels Connect is a fun, addictive matching puzzle where you scan a colorful board and tap jewel pairs that can be linked by no more than three line segments without touching other jewels. Clear every pair before the time limit, with Easy, Medium and Hard board sizes plus hint and shuffle options.

Jewels Connect is listed as a Puzzles game and described as a fun, addictive matching game for training your eyes and brain. The board is filled with colorful jewels, and the player must find all matching pairs by tapping them. A pair is valid only when the two jewels can be connected by a maximum of three line segments that do not touch other jewels. The description also notes three difficulties tied to board size, an optional hint display, a shuffle option, and English and Russian language support.

Your goal

The objective is to clear the board by finding every pair of identical jewels before the allowed time runs out. Each attempted connection must link the pair with no more than three line segments, and the path cannot touch other jewels. Easy, Medium and Hard change the board size, so the same goal can feel tighter as the layout grows.

How to play Jewels Connect

1. Choose a difficulty: Easy, Medium or Hard, with each option corresponding to a different board size.

2. Scan the board for two matching colorful jewels that appear to have an open route between them.

3. Tap the first jewel, then tap its matching partner to test whether they can be connected.

4. Confirm the route uses a maximum of three line segments and does not touch any other jewels.

5. If you are stuck, use the showing-hints option; if the layout feels awkward, use the shuffle option.

6. Keep pairing and removing jewels until all pairs are found within the stated amount of time.

Rules to keep in mind

  • A valid move connects two matching jewels by tapping them as a pair.
  • The connection between the pair may use at most three line segments.
  • The connecting path must not touch the other jewels on the board.
  • All pairs must be found within a certain amount of time; Easy, Medium and Hard correspond to board sizes.

What makes the challenge interesting

The challenge is less about swapping pieces and more about visual pathfinding: spot identical jewels, imagine a route around blockers, and check whether that route bends no more than three times. Because the path cannot touch other jewels, crowded areas can hide valid pairs in plain sight. The time limit adds pressure, while hints and shuffle give players optional help when the board becomes hard to read.

Tips for Jewels Connect

  • Start near edges and open gaps, where a route is easier to trace with three segments or fewer.
  • Before tapping, mentally draw the path and make sure it will not brush against unrelated jewels.
  • On larger boards, scan in rows or sections so matching colors are less likely to be missed.
  • Use hints when stuck and shuffle when the layout looks tangled, then recheck obvious pairs first.
