Strategy guide
JellySplit strategy guide
JellySplit is about reading how one swap changes a hex board. The best moves do more than connect matching jellies: they preserve future options, build chain reactions, and avoid breaking valuable groups.
Best first principle
Treat every swap as a trade. You are not only asking what it creates, but also what it breaks and what it makes possible on the next move.
Focused strategy guides
Use these guides when you want a specific answer instead of a general overview. Each one keeps Classic score chasing separate from deterministic Puzzle mode and daily puzzle routes.
Read groups before moves
A swap matters because it changes several neighbor relationships at once. Before moving, identify the color groups that are already close to improving and the groups that would be damaged by the swap.
Value net score, not just new links
A tempting move can add one connection while breaking two better ones. In Puzzle mode, use score previews and undo to learn which swaps are actually positive.
Use the hex axes
Hex boards have three directions of adjacency. Strong moves often improve more than one axis at the same time, which is why diagonal-looking swaps can be more valuable than they first appear.
Set up chains in Classic
Classic rewards bursts that lead into other bursts. When time allows, choose swaps that leave nearby groups close to fully split instead of only taking the first small score gain.
Solve daily puzzles with constraints
Daily puzzles are fixed boards. Start by asking which colors can realistically reach the target within the allowed swaps, then test first moves that preserve future options.
Strategy by mode
Classic
Play fast, but do not play blind. The strongest Classic runs come from bursts that create more burst candidates after the board refills.
Classic guidePuzzle and daily
Play deliberately. Puzzle boards are deterministic, so a failed route is useful information: undo, test a different first move, and compare the score shape.
