These are part of the achievement "Puzzle Performer"

To unlock these World Quests you have to first find a Silver Knife
which can be found in any of the arcane chests in Nazjatar

This puzzle game is optional, so if you don't like it, don't play it.
I personally like these quests. It gives me a break from killing.

The mechanics work like this:

The game consists of a 8 x 8 grid which is composed of 6 different colored runes.

1] Click on any rune.

2] Click on any adjacent rune and those two runes will swap positions.

3] If, by swapping those two runes, you cause 3 runes in a row to all be of the same color, then those three runes will be destroyed.

4] If, by swapping those two runes, you do not cause 3 runes in a row to all be of the same color, then those two runes will swap back to the positions they were in and nothing happens.

5] An adjacent rune is considered to be to the left, right, up, or down.

6] A row can be left to right or up and down.

7] When runes are destroyed, each rune (and all the runes in that column above that rune) will fall downward.

8] If you cause more than 3 runes to be in the same row or column, then all of the runes of that color will be destroyed. So, for example, if you cause 4 runes to be the same color, all 4 of those runes will be destroyed.

9] If you get stuck, you can exit the game and restart it.
I personally have never gotten stuck, but one time for me the quest completed before I reached the goal. Apparently, that time, randomness left the puzzle unsolvable.

10] To exit the game, click on the Arcane buff in the upper right of your screen.

The object of the game is to destroy a fixed number of runes of one particular color, but you can destroy as many runes of any color to keep changing the pattern of the grid.

I saw this WQ on the map but could not find it easily. To get here, enter the door at 37.07 17.81 in Zanj'ir Keep and the chest will be on the platform to the left.

It is also worth noting that all of the WQs in this series are distinct based on the number of pieces you have to destroy. For this one, I went through all the quests of this name until I found 29 pieces. I didn't notice they all had different numbers until I found it.
