Merge matching tiles and reach the target. The rules are clear in a second; the depth shows up later, when the board stops forgiving a careless move. THREE MODES Powers of 2 – the classic. Powers of 3: three tiles merge into one, more room, costlier mistakes. Fibonacci: neighbours in the sequence merge, not identical tiles, and habit works against you. FIVE BOARD SIZES From 3×3 to 7×7. The smaller the board, the harder the game: every combination of mode and size keeps its own best score and its own leaderboard. DAILY PUZZLE One board for everyone, a single attempt. Share the result as a card, and keep the streak – it is the only thing that carries from one day to the next. ETUDES A set position, a goal and a few moves: make 128 in four moves or leave just five tiles on the board. No new tiles appear, and every etude has an exact solution. Two chapters are free, five more come with Tilefold Plus. And every day brings a new free etude of the day. DUELS Send a friend a link to your own deal. They play the same board and see the score to beat – even without the game installed. HINTS AND REVIEW Stuck? The game suggests a move, three times per game. When the game is over, it shows the move where things went wrong and what to play instead. NOTHING EXTRA No ads, no subscription, no sign-up. The app collects no name, email, or address. Records live in your iCloud, and we have no access to them. TILEFOLD PLUS A one-time purchase: every chapter of etudes, three palettes beyond the five free ones, game statistics, the archive of past daily puzzles, and game review.
