How to Play JellySplit

JellySplit looks gentle. It is not. Every jelly on the hex board connects across three axes at once, and a single swap can ripple through the whole puzzle. Here is the five-minute version of how it works.

1

The Goal

Your score is the total number of splits across all jellies. Swap jellies to create more splits and reach the target score before you run out of moves.

Target score: 30 · 3 moves remaining
Blue (2 jellies): 2×12 pts
Green (5 jellies): 2 + 2×4 + 2×622 pts
Total24 pts

Each jelly scores by how many axes it connects on. An isolated jelly is worth 1 point. One shared axis is worth 2, two axes are worth 4, and a jelly with same-color neighbors on all three axes earns the maximum of 6. The board above sits at 24 — we still need 6 more to clear the puzzle.

Swipe to Swap

Swipe or drag a jelly onto a neighbor to swap them. Swapping changes the score — connecting same-color jellies adds points, while breaking connections loses them. The only move you can make is a swap, and each level gives you a strict budget.

Score: 24 → 30  ·  +6 points

Swapping the blue jelly at the bottom with the green above it pulls the two blues together and tightens the green ring around them. That single move adds six points and lands us exactly on the target.

Nailed It

After the swap, the blue jellies split now that they’re neighbors. The green jellies make more splits and add to the score. Each number shows what that individual jelly is now worth.

Simple to learn, deceptively deep. With three hex axes to optimize across, every swap ripples through the entire board. The best players aren’t thinking about the jelly they’re moving — they’re thinking about all the neighbors it leaves behind.
