Candy Match

A match-three puzzle on a timer. Line up three or more of the same candy in a row or column to clear them, and keep clearing until the level quota is met before the clock runs out. Candy Match adds nothing exotic to the formula — no special pieces to learn, no secondary board — which makes it a reasonable first match-three rather than a deep one. The timer is what supplies the pressure, so scanning the whole grid beats working one corner.
