Block Wizard is a free online match-3 puzzle game inspired by World of Warcraft: earn experience, level up, upgrade active spells and passive skills, and spend mana to cast spells.
Drag between adjacent blocks to swap them. Match three or more in a row or column with the same color or symbol. Falling blocks can create further matches, called cascades. You can play with a mouse or a touch screen.
Learn rotation to drag around a square of four blocks or the perimeter of eight. With Shift, drag through three or more blocks in a straight row or column. Some first ranks undo moves that make no match.
Experience is shown as Points. Each clear of three blocks earns 1 point, four earns 2, five earns 3, and so on. The reward counts all distinct blocks cleared together, including special blocks; each cascade clear earns its own reward.
Fill the Points bar to complete the level, then click or tap one available skill to upgrade it before continuing. If no upgrade is available, use Continue. Complete all 50 levels to win the game.
Each block beyond the first three in a clear gives 1 mana: four blocks give 1, five give 2, and so on, up to your mana limit. Power blocks add a bonus.
Active spells spend mana; passive skills work automatically. Blocks destroyed directly by a spell give no experience or mana, but resulting matches do. Click or tap an available spell icon, or use keys 1–9, 0 and −. Select a target when prompted; Escape or the Cancel button cancels targeting without spending mana. Hover or focus an icon for its description. Clicking or tapping an available skill on the upgrade screen purchases it immediately.
Bubbles: Pop when three or more line up, or when a match clears beside them horizontally or vertically. Cascade Bubbles makes popping spread through connected bubbles.
Ice: Fresh ice needs three hits to break. Adjacent clears damage it; spells can help. Ice falls with gravity but blocks ordinary moves.
Walls: Fixed barriers that block moves and falling blocks. Certain upgraded spells can destroy or transform them.
Hidden blocks: Click or tap two that share a color or symbol to uncover both permanently and earn 1 point, without removing them or gaining mana. Their hidden attributes still participate in matches.
Power blocks: Pulsing, glowing blocks add 1 extra point and 1 extra mana each when cleared in a match.
Missing colors or symbols: White blocks match by symbol; symbol-less blocks match by color. Blocks with neither, like the one shown, have no matching attribute. Fill can supply missing attributes.
Restart level resets the current level’s points and mana while retaining learned skills. Winning lets you replay with those skills. New game, resets everything to level 1. Progress saves automatically in this browser and resumes when you reload or reopen the page.
