Sorry for the delay! I have't had a chance to check here in a few days.

Okay, so there is a second glitch in games on the Valentines update, which will give you the crystals you need to pay to unlock Gem Match. I have tested it many times on an iphone, and know it has worked for many players, but none of them told me they were on Kindle, so please use caution when trying this.

What you are trying to do is to make a purchase that will drive you into minus crystals (this is the glitch, it shouldn't be possible to go into debt in the game), the game then resets your crystal total to 60. So this works best if you have less than 60 crystals to begin with, but I am assuming you have a very small amount of crystals, as if you had hundreds you would probably have opened Gem Match with them by now.



Okay so, first open the friends section of the game, and press 'Send a Gift' under any friends name. There are three ways to send a gift, 1. through the friends wishlist at the top of the screen that pops up, 2. through the send a gift tab (default open) and 3. through the send a collection item tab.



Scroll through the 'send a gift' tab. This is where all combining elements that can be sent as free gifts (not from inventory) to your friends are listed. All the combining elements in the 'send a gift' tab are locked when you first start a new game, but they gradually all unlock as you progress through the game levels. What you are looking for is a combining element that is still locked, i.e. that you are too low a level to send to friends as a free gift. Hopefully you will have plenty to choose from.

For each locked combining element, it tells you the level it is unlocked at, or gives you the option to 'open for x number of crystals' where x is same as the level required to unlock. Do not try to unlock any in the send a gift tab itself. Just make a note of which combining elements you must pay to unlock, and how many crsytals are required. E.g. in the pictures above, my player has just reached level 22, but the 'parchement' requires level 25 or higher to send as a free gift, and I have the option to open it for gifting now, at level 22, for the princely sum of 25 crystals.

You are looking for one that requires more crystals than you currently possess. In the example I have 5 crystals to begin with so any that cost more than 5 crystals will work for me.

Once you know which combining elements will work for you, start going through your friends and looking at their wishlists for that combining element. In the example, I have not unlocked the parchment and my friend has the parchment in their wishlist (5th item).

Note: The parchement in my friends wishlist, along with the gold foil, both have no number next to them. All the other combining elements on the friends wishlist have a 1 next to them. This is because I have unlocked the other combining elements and am able to send them, but I have not unlocked the parchment or the gold foil. Any combining element on a friends wishlist that you can send has a 1 next to it. This is because you are limited to one free gift per friend per day (to a max of 50 friends). Once you send a combining element to that friend that day, all the combining elements in their wishlist will have no number next to it, even the ones you can send.

So, you are looking for a friend that you have not sent a combining element to yet today, who has on their wishlist a combining element you are not at a high enough level to send yet, that will cost more crystals to unlock than you currently have.

Once you find it, press the combining element's icon in the friend's wishlist like you would to send any other item. Do not try to send from the 'send a gift' tab. You must send by pressing the icon in the wishlist itself. You will receive the notice in picture to the right:

Press okay, and the crsytals will be deducted from your inventory, driving you into minus crsytals, you will receive confirmation that the gift has been sent, and you will be brought back to the friends section. In the example, I started out at 5 crystals, spent 25 unlocking the parchment, so now have minus 20 crystals.

Do not leave the friends section to check your crystals total! You need to get the crystals to reset to 60 first or you will be stuck on minus numbers. To do this, choose any friend and press the visit button under their name. This will bring you to your friends desktop. You do not have to use your daily charges helping that friend for the reset to happen, but you might as well while you are there, it is polite! (and you will get experience points for each charge, so it is beneficial to you).

Once you press home you will be brought back to the friends. You can now exit the friends section. And you will have 60 crystals in your inventory.

Spend these to unlock Gem Match (costs 40, so you will have 20 left over). Then go back into the friends section, and find another combining element on another friends wishlist and start over again, so you will finish on 60 crsytals again. In Summary:

1. Open friends section.

2. Find a combining element that will cost enough crystals to send your total into minus figures.

3. Find that combining element on a friends wishlist and try to send to that friend from their wishlist. (Do not send from send a gift tab, you must press the icon on the wishlist or it won't work).

4. Immeditately visit any friend before leaving the friends section.

5. You should be at 60 crystals when you return to your own home desktop.
