Jewels games are a subgenre of puzzle games focused on matching or aligning gemstones, crystals, or similar objects to achieve specific goals. These games typically involve a grid-based board where players swap adjacent items to form rows or clusters of three or more identical jewels, which then disappear, earning points or unlocking progress. Common mechanics include limited moves, time constraints, power-ups, and level-specific objectives like clearing a certain number of jewels or reaching a score threshold.
