Clear the board by matching three identical tiles. 3matchpuzzle is a calm, tactical puzzle on a frosty board. Tiles stack in layers—only those not covered are tappable. Each pick slides into a 7-slot tray; make a triple and it pops away instantly. Let the tray hit seven without forming a triple and the round is lost. Simple to learn, surprisingly deep to master. Why you’ll like it • Satisfying 3-tile matching with a strategic tray limit. • Smart helpers (once per round): Undo – take back your last pick. 3-Right – send your last three picks to a special right column where they’re always tappable. Rebuild – reshuffle the types of remaining tiles without moving their positions. • 50 handcrafted rounds that steadily add tile types and layouts. • Tile styles to make the board yours (earn diamonds, spend in Shop). • Clean, cozy presentation with rounded white tiles, subtle depth shadows, and gentle effects. • Play at your pace—great for short sessions and focus breaks. How to play 1. Pick any tile that isn’t covered by another tile. 2. Each pick goes into the 7-slot tray at the bottom. 3. Three of the same tile clear automatically. 4. If—after any clears—the tray still holds 7 tiles, you lose the round. 5. Clear every tile to win and unlock the next round.
