Every tile has a rule. Every placement has consequences. Get it wrong and the whole board falls apart. Place numbered tiles on a grid — each one fills a specific number of spaces around it. Odd tiles claim the corners. Even tiles take the sides. Tile 5 does both. Every tile must be placed perfectly to win. One wrong move and the board stays unsolved. Simple to learn. Incredibly hard to master. CAMPAIGN MODE Take on thousands of levels across dozens of phases. Boards grow larger, tile counts climb higher, and the challenge deepens with every phase you unlock. Earn XP, climb reward tiers, and collect resource drops as you go. There's always a harder board ahead. DAILY PUZZLE A fresh puzzle every day. Race the clock, post your score, and see how you rank on the global leaderboard. The built-in calendar lets you replay any past puzzle whenever you want. SILHOUETTE MODE The board is shaped like an object. Your job is to fill it perfectly. Same rules, a completely different kind of challenge. FREE PLAY Your board, your rules. Pick your tile count, play as many rounds as you want, and track your wins across every configuration. EARN AS YOU PLAY Complete levels to earn hints, undos, and restarts. Hit milestones for bonus rewards. Play clean — no hints, no undos, no restarts — for extra XP. BUILT TO FEEL GREAT Smooth animations. Warm wood aesthetics. Satisfying sounds and haptics. Designed to feel as good as it plays. Tile Five. One more round always makes sense.
