How to play JellySplit Puzzle mode
Puzzle mode is the deliberate JellySplit challenge: every board has a target score, a fixed number of swaps, and a deterministic path toward a solve. The daily puzzle uses the same rules with a fresh board each day.
Short answer
Swap neighboring jellies to create stronger same-color connections. Your score rises when jellies gain split lines. Reach the target before you run out of swaps, then try to solve with moves left for more stars.
The core puzzle loop
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
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 points.
Score: 24 → 30 (+6 points)
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.
Target reached — you win!
