About World Cup Flag Match
The board is a grid of national flags. You swap two neighbours to line up three of a kind, they clear, and the flags above drop into the gap. It is the match three shape everybody knows, with a football tournament wrapped around it.
The levels get stricter as you go, and the score comes from combos rather than from single clears, so the useful move is the one that leaves the board ready to cascade. The side effect is that you start recognising flags you could not have named an hour earlier. It plays in portrait at 600 by 800.
How to play
- Swap two neighbouring flags to line up three of a kind.
- Clear the matches to make the flags above fall into place.
- Chain combos to raise your score.
- Meet the target for the level to move on.

Tips
- Clear low on the board. Everything above it falls, and falls can trigger matches you did not plan.
- Before you swap, look for the second match the swap sets up. A combo scores far better than two separate clears.
