Candy Crush delivers the timeless match-3 experience with a sugary twist that has captivated millions of puzzle lovers worldwide.

Progress through a sprawling candy kingdom map with hundreds of levels, each presenting distinct challenges like jelly layers to clear, chocolate blocks that spread, and ingredient drops to guide to the bottom. Create special candies through clever four-match and five-match combos for screen-shaking power moves. This beloved free browser puzzle game offers endless hours of satisfying candy-matching fun without any downloads.
How to Play Candy Crush
Click or tap a candy, then swipe or click an adjacent candy to swap their positions. When three or more identical candies align in a row or column, they pop and award points. New candies fall from the top to fill empty spaces, potentially creating automatic chain reactions that multiply your score. Each level has a specific goal displayed before it starts — common objectives include clearing all jelly tiles, reaching a target score, dropping ingredients to the bottom row, or collecting a certain number of specific candy colors. Matching four candies in a line creates a striped candy that clears its entire row or column when matched again. Matching five in a row produces a color bomb that removes every candy of whichever color you swap it with. An L-shaped or T-shaped match of five creates a wrapped candy that explodes twice, clearing a large area around it. Combining two special candies together multiplies their effects dramatically — a striped plus a color bomb, for example, turns every candy of one color into a striped candy. Chocolate squares spread one space each turn unless you match candies next to them. Licorice locks trap candies in place until you match them directly. Manage your limited moves carefully — prioritize objectives over points. Study the board thoroughly before making your first move to identify high-value combo opportunities.
