A 6th sequel usually adds paint. This 1 adds a rule: 2 bombs swapped into each other go off as 1 bigger blast. Jewels Blitz 6 is a free match 3 puzzle game you play in your browser. You swap adjacent gems to line up 3 or more, clear each level's task list, and build line, cross and color bombs from the bigger matches on a map of Mayan temples.
Key Controls
- Use MOUSE and LEFT-CLICK
How It Works
Jewels Blitz 6 opens every level with a task list of gems and items to collect, and the level ends when the list is cleared. Each swap has to make a line of 3 or more, and 4 or 5 is where it gets good: 4 in a line makes a line bomb that clears a row or column, 5 makes a color bomb that removes every gem of 1 color.
The bombs stack. Swap 2 together and the blast is bigger than either alone, which is how a stalled board clears in 1 move. 4 boosters unlock as you go, each with a short tutorial; the 1st swaps any 2 gems. The Jewels Blitz 6 game scores each level out of 3 stars, and daily missions and weekly challenges pay gold and magic items on top.
- Read the task list before the 1st swap.
- Click a gem, then drag it onto a neighbor to make a line of 3.
- Line up 4 for a line bomb or 5 for a color bomb.
- Swap 2 bombs into each other for a bigger blast.
- Clear the task list to earn up to 3 stars.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Bombs that combine. 2 swapped together go off as 1 bigger blast.
- 3 bomb types. Line, cross and color, from matches of 4 or more.
- 4 unlockable boosters. Each arrives with a tutorial, and the 1st swaps any 2 gems.
- 3 stars per level. Scored on points.
- Daily missions and weekly challenges. Gold and magic items.
- The biggest entry in the series. The 6th game, from August 2023, has the most levels.
Getting Started
- Take the 4-match over the 3-match. Jewels Blitz 6 turns every 4-line into a bomb, so the longer line wins even when the shorter 1 collects a task item.
- Park a bomb next to another bomb. 2 swapped together beat 2 fired 1 at a time.
- Aim the color bomb at the task color. A 5-match clears every gem of the color it's swapped with.
- Use the swap booster on the task, not the score. Moving 1 gem to finish a 4-line beats any swap that only adds points.
Going Further
The fastest way to clear a level in Jewels Blitz 6 is to stop matching 3 at all, because every 4-match is a bomb and 2 bombs together are a clear. Color bombs pay most on the scarcest task color, since a 5-match aimed at the color with the fewest gems does work no run of 3-matches could. Boosters are finite, so the swap booster is best spent when 1 move puts 2 bombs side by side. Gold and magic items come from the daily missions and weekly challenges, which pay out win or lose, so the day's mission is worth finishing before a hard level is retried. Stars are scored on points, so a bomb set off after the task is done still counts.
Mistakes Worth Avoiding
- Firing a bomb the moment it appears. A 2nd bomb beside it was worth waiting 1 move for.
- Swapping a color bomb into the most common color. The biggest clear goes to gems the task list didn't ask for.
- Spending the swap booster on a 3-match. A finite tool on a move the board would have offered.
- Skipping the weekly challenge. It pays gold the levels don't.
Similar Match 3 Games
If you want the same temples with 1 fewer rule, Jewels Blitz 5 is the direct predecessor, where spare moves turn into bombs at the end of a level. If the task lists were the pull, Garden Tales runs the same collect-and-clear loop across 700 plus levels, moles included. For a match 3 against someone else, Harvest Honors turns the board into a 1v1 race with 15 seconds a turn.
Final Thoughts
This is a match 3 built around bombs, and combining 2 is the best feeling in the series. Skip it if you want a timer or a rival on the board; there's neither. Play Jewels Blitz 6 online until the 1st double bomb goes off and you'll know whether the rest of the map is worth clearing.
