Happy jelly

Five minutes with Happy jelly and you've already lined up a row of three candies, watched them vanish, and started scanning the board for the next easy match. That's the whole rhythm here - simple, sweet, and hard to put down.

The setup is classic Puzzle games territory: move the jelly candies around the board until three or more of the same kind line up and pop. Vibrant visuals and lively tunes do a lot of the work too, turning what could be a dry matching exercise into something closer to a mini stress-relief session.

It runs right in the browser on Android, iOS, or desktop, no download needed, which makes it an easy one to open up on a break. If you like the low-stakes, satisfying-click loop of Mahjong Connect, Happy jelly scratches a similar itch with a candier coat of paint.

There's no pressure to master anything complicated - just candies, rows of three, and the small satisfaction of watching a cluttered board clear out.

Clear as many jelly candies as you can. Move the candies around the board so that three or more matching pieces line up in a row - once they do, they get destroyed and open up space for your next move.

On touchscreens, tap and drag candies into position; on desktop, use your mouse to do the same. Keep an eye on the whole board rather than just one corner - the best row-of-three is often sitting one move away from where you're already looking.
