Test Your Matching Speed - Play Fast Match

Fast Match is a predominately skill based game that tests your matching speed.  You start with 52 to 80 tiles. You remove matching tiles from the playing field by clicking on a tile and then clicking on a matching tile. Race against the timer to find all the matching tiles and clear the playing field to gain the highest score.

Each of the Fast Match tile patterns contains four of each tile. The difficulty levels range from easy to expert depending on tile count and pattern. With the range of tile patterns, backgrounds, and tile designs, each round of the game is a truly unique and engaging experience.

The game score is calculated based upon how quickly a player selects and removes the matching tiles from the playing field. The timer (on the right of the game screen) counts down, and the faster a match is made the higher the amount of points added to the player's overall game score.

Each tile formation, or layout, requires a slightly different approach, however in general it is always a good tactic to remove tiles that will reveal, or open up, other tiles when possible.

In certain situations, reshuffling the tiles can lead to more harm than good. Choosing to reshuffle the tiles should be a strategic choice where the possibility of locking in needed tiles is not likely with how the tiles are arranged on the playing field.

Balance strategy and speed and keep in mind a strategic approach is required to clear the board, however scoring is based on how fast the tile matches are removed.

Always strive to visualize a few steps ahead while playing to avoid locking in tiles and preventing the ability to clear the entire playing field. Always try to envision the possible moves available could result from each removed pair of tiles.
