Swap bright gems and race the clock
Hot Jewels fills a tall board with blue, red, yellow, lime and pink gems, each stamped with its own symbol, from stars to lightning bolts. Swap two neighbors to line up three or more of a kind and they burst, letting fresh gems tumble in from above. A clock keeps the pace brisk, so quick eyes count as much as planning.
How to play Hot Jewels
- Look for a gem that would complete a row or column of three if it moved one space.
- Drag it onto its neighbor to swap the pair.
- Matched gems burst, new ones fall in, and any new lines clear on their own.
- Keep matching until time runs out, then go again for a higher score.

Tips to play better
- Make matches low on the board when you can; the gems that drop in afterward often line up for bonus cascades.
- Scan for two same-colored gems with a gap between them, then look for the third that can slide into that gap.
- Don't spend long hunting for a perfect move while the clock runs; a quick small match beats a slow big one.

Hot Jewels FAQ
Is there a time limit in Hot Jewels?
Yes. A clock runs while you play, so steady matching matters more than waiting for the perfect move.
What is a cascade?
When matched gems vanish, the ones above slide down and new gems drop in. If they happen to form a line of three, it clears automatically and adds to your score.
