Fill the grid with number tiles, one clever deduction at a time. Every square belongs to exactly one tile, and each tile's number tells you how many neighboring squares it covers. Find the spot where a tile fits only one way, place it, and watch the board fall into place. No math. No luck. Just pure logic. HOW IT WORKS • A tile covers its own square plus as many neighbors as its number. • 1s and 3s reach diagonally, 2s and 4s reach to the sides, and a 5 can do both. • Printed numbers are clues: each one shows the number of the tile that covers it. • Every puzzle has exactly one answer. WHAT'S INSIDE • 1,000 puzzles across five levels, from Beginner to Impossible • A fresh Daily Challenge every day, with spoiler-free sharing • Hints that explain the next step in plain words • Walkthroughs that teach the techniques for every level • Three lives, pencil notes, undo and pause • Dark mode, left-handed keys and offline play on iPhone and iPad Love Sudoku, kakuro or nonograms? Tile Five gives you the same "aha!" moment with a twist! Learn it in a minute, enjoy it for years.
