Aah. Just found it. You were playing Treasure Box. It does take a lot of practice.

You need to get a line of four or five gems to give you extra “tools” to defeat some of the grids. If you get four, it will give you a twinkling Gem, which, when subsequently matched with two more of the same colour, will wipe out the line or column where it is located. If you get the first four vertically, the resulting gem wipes horizontally. If you get the first four horizontally, it will wipe the vertically. Now, if you manage to match five, it gives you a multicoloured gem. This can be used to destroy all gems of one colour. You simply move it to one of the colours in a next door square. However, use it wisely. I try to keep mine if there is nothing I want destroyed at the time.

As to the rocks. It really depends where it was. Different locations require different strategies. However, generally speaking, one of the twinkling gems (when matched with another two) will destroy the rock if it is in the relevant line or column.

I hope that helps. Personally, I had been playing something called Jewel Quest for years, before I started SN. It is similar in many ways to TB and, frequently, more difficult. So, I was already an old hand when I encountered TB.
