LuXOR vs Tile Five

Turn out every light. LuXOR is a simple puzzle with a deep twist. Tap a light and it flips, along with its neighbors above, below, and to each side. Your goal is to switch the whole board dark. It sounds easy. Then the third tap undoes your first one, and you start to think. Every puzzle has a par. Solve it at par or better to earn all three stars, or come back later and chase a cleaner solution. There’s no timer and no rush. Just you, the board, and that satisfying moment when the last light goes out.

Lux is Latin for light. XOR is the logic behind every tap: press a light once and it flips, press it twice and it’s back where it started. Once you see it that way, the puzzles start to open up. LuXOR is free to play and supported by ads. Prefer it quiet? A one-time in-app purchase removes the ads for good. Made by one developer at BluMonkey Software, who still gets a kick out of the last light going dark.

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.
