What clears blocks?

So I've noticed that when three blocks of the same type line up in a straight line, they explode; but I'd swear I've also seen groups of five like...

...all explode at the same time, even though explosions don't otherwise spread to adjacent similar-colored blocks like that. Is there another rule that makes them explode? (Also: is there a readme or help screen that I've overlooked that explains this?)

Diamonds of four also clear, so there are some really interesting shapes that come from the combination of 3x lines and 2x2 diamonds.

arrangements, trying to extend them to either side...

Is there somewhere that documents this, or do most people just find it out naturally?

I think a lot of people figure it out with some experimentation, but not everybody! I was thinking figuring it out would be part of the fun, but after some feedback I may put in a little "tips" page or something in the game to make sure.
