Wella’s Garden Quest guide

The basics

Swap two neighbouring pieces to line up three or more of the same kind. Each level has goals to complete within a set number of moves. Win the level to earn a star, then spend stars on the garden jobs Wren has marked: mow the lawn, restore the fountain, revive the roses.

There are four gardens to restore: the Front Lawn, the Fountain Court, the Rose Garden and the Orchard. A letter is waiting when each one is finished, and the levels keep going after that for coins, chests and high scores.

Special pieces

• Firecracker: match 4 in a row. It clears a whole line.
• Bomb: match in an L or T shape.
• Rainbow: match 5 in a row, then swap it with a piece to clear every piece of that colour.
• Combos: swap two special pieces together for a giant effect.

Garden obstacles

• Grass: make a match on top of it to mow it.
• Crates: match right next to them to break them.
• Chains: use the chained piece in a match to free it.
• Acorns: bring them down to the bottom of the board.

Tools, lives and coins

• Shovel clears one tile. Rake clears a row and a column. Glove swaps any two neighbouring pieces.
• Before a level you can start with a Bomb or a Rainbow already on the board.
• Out of moves? Spend coins on +5 moves. Coins also buy tools and refill lives.
• You have 5 lives. You lose one when you fail a level or leave it early, and they refill one every 20 minutes.
• Every ten wins fills a treasure chest with coins and tools. Coins are earned only by playing; there are no real-money purchases.

Tips for hard levels

• Read the goals first. A level asking for acorns is won at the bottom of the board; a level full of grass is won by matching across the whole board.
• Match low on the board. Matches near the bottom make more pieces fall, which means more chance of free cascades.
• Build specials before spending moves on single matches. One rainbow can do the work of five ordinary moves.
• Save special pieces for a combo. Two specials next to each other are worth far more swapped together than set off one at a time.
• Use tools on the last blocker, not the first. A Shovel at the right moment saves a life.
