Match Storm is a feature that automatically removes all remaining tiles when all tiles are in an active state (i.e., touchable) and the number of remaining tiles is between 10 and 30.
To turn off Match Storm
Tap the Settings button (gear icon) at the bottom left corner of the play screen.
In the settings popup, find the Match Storm option.
Switch it to Off, and the Match Storm will no longer activate.
Match Storm is enabled (On) by default and can be turned off manually if preferred.
