Tile Pairs

📖 Read the strategy guide ›

Tile Pairs is a calm tile-matching puzzle. Tiles are stacked in a layout, and you clear them by matching two identical free tiles. A tile is free when nothing lies on top of it and its left or right side is open. Clear the whole stack to win.

How to play

  1. Choose a layout: Pyramid, Star, Bridge or Fortress.
  2. Find two identical tiles that are both free.
  3. Click them to remove the pair.
  4. A tile is free when nothing is on top and its left or right side is open.
  5. Clear every tile to win; shuffle if you run out of moves.

Controls

Computer
Click two matching free tiles. Arrow keys and Enter also work; H gives a hint and S shuffles.
Phone and tablet
Tap two matching free tiles to clear them.

Tips

  • Clear tiles that unlock the most other tiles first.
  • Focus on tall stacks early so you do not get blocked.
  • If all four copies of a tile are free, match them together.

Questions

Which tiles can I pick?
Only free tiles: nothing on top, and an open left or right side.
What if no moves are left?
Use Shuffle to mix the remaining tiles, or a hint to find a pair.
