How do you play Spooky Link?
Tap an item, then tap another identical item. If they can be joined by a line of at most three segments (two 90-degree turns) through open space or around the border, they vanish! Clear the board before the timer expires. Make quick matches within 4 seconds to trigger high-scoring combos. From level 3 onwards, tiles will slide with the level's gravity direction after matches. Use Hint and Shuffle if you ever get stuck!
Tips & strategy
- Tiles on the outer edges can connect freely around the outside of the board.
- Matching within 4 seconds stacks up to a 10x combo multiplier and bonus time.
- Save manual shuffles for when you are stuck; if no moves exist, the board auto-shuffles for free.

Spooky Link FAQ
How does a path connect Halloween tiles in Spooky Link?
A valid path links matching Halloween items using at most three straight segments and two 90-degree corners. The glowing trail must travel exclusively across empty board spaces or circle freely around the board's outer boundary. If the route between the matching pumpkin or potion tiles requires three turns or is blocked by other items, the connection fails.
Does running out of available moves penalize the player in Spooky Link?
Spooky Link triggers an automatic reshuffle immediately at zero cost. The remaining spooky items are rearranged on the current layout until at least one valid path is guaranteed. This automated mechanic does not consume any of your two player-held manual shuffles, allowing you to keep playing smoothly.
How do sliding gravities change the board in Spooky Link?
Starting from Level 3, boards activate dynamic sliding mechanics after each successful link. Tiles shift down, up, sideways, or towards the center depending on the chapter's gravity rule. This motion closes gaps and reveals new matching combinations, requiring strategic foresight before each match.
How do combo multipliers and bonus seconds work in Spooky Link?
Connecting matching pairs within four seconds of each other builds a consecutive combo chain up to 10x. Every consecutive link awards 100 points multiplied by your current combo level and adds one bonus second to the round timer, rewarding quick and decisive play.
What are the requirements to achieve 3 stars on a board in Spooky Link?
You earn three stars by clearing the entire board with at least 45 percent of the initial level time remaining. Finishing with 20 to 44 percent earns two stars, while completing the level with under 20 percent time awards one star. Maintaining combo chains is key to keeping the timer high.
