Tile Pick Three

Pick tiles from a stacked pile into a seven-slot tray. Match three of a kind to clear them, and do not let the tray fill up.

How to play

  1. Tiles are stacked in layers. You can only pick a tile that is not covered by another tile on top of it.
  2. Each tile you pick drops into the tray at the bottom. Three matching tiles in the tray vanish together.
  3. The tray holds seven tiles. If it fills up without a match, you lose, so think before every pick.
  4. Clear every tile to win. You get three undos, and Restart lets you try the same layout again.

Tips and strategy

  • Before picking, count how many of each type are uncovered. Go for types where you can reach all three.
  • Start by uncovering tiles on the top layers that hide many others.
  • Avoid filling the tray with singles of different types, since each one eats a slot.
  • Every layout can be cleared, so if you get stuck, restart and use what you learned about where the types are.

FAQ

Can every layout be cleared?
Yes. Layouts are generated from a working clear order, so a complete solution always exists.
Is the daily layout the same for everyone?
Yes. The daily layout is built from the UTC date at Medium difficulty and resets at 00:00 UTC.
What do the covered tiles look like?
Covered tiles are darker and cannot be picked until the tiles above them are gone.
