Tap the tiles you need and stack them up, one by one. You can rotate the tiles by clicking on them and changing their order by using the button below the tile holder. You've solved the puzzle when your tiles match the challenge exactly. Can you complete all challenges? About SmartGames SmartGames is the worldwide leader in multi-level logic games.
