Lantern Season

Swap two neighbouring lanterns to line up three or more. They light, lift off the board and join the sky, and they stay there until the night is done.

You have twenty moves per night, and only a swap that makes a line costs one move. Fill the sky and the next night begins; fall short and the run ends. How many nights can you fill?

Match four and you make a beacon. Catch it in a later match and it lights its whole row and column, setting off any other beacon in the way.

The board never leaves you stuck: if no move is left, it quietly re-deals itself.

No timer, no ads, no sign-up. Your best night is saved in your browser.

Controls: drag a lantern onto its neighbour, or tap one and then the other. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys to move, Enter or Space to pick up a lantern, and an arrow to swap. (Click into the game first if the keys don't respond.)
