Jewel Link

Two identical jewels, one connecting line, three turns max - that's the whole puzzle in Jewel Link. Spot a match, trace a path between the pair, and if that path bends more than three times, the connection fails and you're back to scanning the board.

It's a Connect2 game, the same family as classics inspired by Bejeweled, but the turn limit changes how you actually play it. You're not just hunting for matching jewels, you're checking whether the board even lets you reach them without one too many corners.

Early rows go fast, then the layout tightens and every clear pair hides behind a jewel you didn't plan for. If you like games built around spotting connections under a rule, Connect Games fans and anyone into Jewel Games will feel right at home here. It's landscape, browser-based and free, with no blood and nothing to install.

Fans of Match 3 games looking for something with a different rhythm should give this a spin - the three-turn rule is a small twist that changes everything.

Clear the board by linking two identical jewels at a time so they disappear. Find a matching pair, then trace a connecting line between them - but that line can bend at most three times. More than three corners and the link won't register, so you'll need another route or another pair.

There's no dragging combos or swapping tiles here, just spotting valid connections. As boards fill up, scan for jewels near open edges first - they're usually easier to link within the turn limit than ones boxed in on all sides.
