About Meme Match 3

Classic Match 3 game with memes.

How to play Meme Match 3

The rules land within the first few seconds of play. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.

On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.

Why it is worth playing

Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Meme Match 3 does not — it is playable from the first second. The result is something you can pick up cold months later.
