A useful example
A horizontal swap can complete a vertical line. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
A swap making no match is reverted. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
