Clear matched tiles only after they have landed, not while still falling

In a match puzzle the board is decided the instant tiles drop, but the picture needs time. Start the next clearing too early and pieces vanish in mid-air; too late and the game feels sleepy. Here is how to know the exact moment the picture has caught up with the board.

Why this works

The eye needs to see cause before effect. A match that vanishes while its pieces are still in the air breaks that order and feels like a cheat, so each group waits for its own pieces to land and rest a beat, while others carry on.

When not to use it

Do not use it in fast, arcade-style puzzles where speed is the thrill and players want instant clears, or on small phones where the extra wait feels slow. Clear at once and use a short flash for feedback.
