One of the most popular puzzle games are Puzzle Quest and BeJeweled. Although the games allow you to match 4 or 5 gems or colors in a row, it is possible to match 6, 7, and even 8 in a row. The following requires that the gravity is the same, and the game must be smart enough to handle it. In the following puzzle boards, the red is what is being counted. The board should clear once everything falls into place.

Six in a Row:


Seven in a Row:


Eight in a Row:


More challenging is the ability to match the most gems of the same color at one instant. In this case the max I came up with is 24. I think it is possible to do more, but here they are (the red color):

Eight matches at one time:


14 matches at one time:


20 matches at one time:


22 matches at one time:


24 matches at one time:

In the above 24 matches for Puzzle Quest and BeJeweled, it is actually 2 "Eight in a Row" and 4 "Four in a Row" at the same time. 16+16=32 with 8 removed in the count because of being used twice in the intersection. 32-8=24 total.

The definitive gem swapping mobile puzzle game features dynamic animations and sound effects,single and multiplayer modes,tutorials,and voiceover sounds to congratulate you on noteworthy Bejeweled moves.Compete against a friend, or match with a random opponent and hit the mines for endless fun.Launch Zero-Gravity bombs and Cave-ins against your Bejeweled partner as you try to make and clear rows.With post-game chat, Bejeweled delivers fun, social, networked gaming.

I agree. The Puzzle League series is easily the best puzzle game, and Bejeweled is obviously heavily influenced from it. But they are made for different gamers. Puzzle League is for hardcore players(at least if you want to be good) and Bejeweled is the "King" of Casual Puzzle Games supposedly.
