Every seam agrees. Tilewright is a calm, cozy tile puzzle. Rebuild beautiful hand-drawn boards — winding rivers, blooming meadows, old railways, buzzing circuit boards — one tile at a time. Two tiles may sit side by side only when their touching edges match: that single rule is the whole game. NINE WORLDS TO RESTORE From the gentle Zen Garden to the dense traces of Circuit City — 216 levels across nine hand-drawn worlds, each with its own art and mood. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY • Restore — place every tile so all seams agree • Pathways — fill the board and connect the banners by road • Untangle — rotate tiles until the picture flows • Masterpiece Dominoes — rebuild famous paintings pair by pair • Warden — mend the fences and keep every creature safely enclosed A DAILY RITUAL One shared puzzle for every player, every day, with streaks to keep. Come back tomorrow. MADE TO RELAX No ads, no accounts, no pressure. A kids-friendly Sprout tier keeps little puzzlers happy, and reduced-motion settings are respected throughout. Works completely offline; optional anonymous backup keeps your stars safe. Every puzzle is generated from a fully solved board, so a solution always exists. If you enjoy sudoku, you'll feel at home: every placement is a deduction, and the board always has an answer.

Pofu

Touch one pofu. Every pofu of the same color that it is standing against goes with it, corners included. Then everything above the gap falls. That falling is the game. The same board cleared in a different order is a different board, and a careless first touch can leave you with a color you can no longer reach. Three hundred levels, each one stored with a solution the test suite replays through the shipping rules, so every board you are given can be finished. Fifteen pofu are more than a color. One takes its whole color wherever it is. One counts as every color and bridges two groups. One hands the touch back. One sweeps its row and its column. One cannot be taken by a group at all. One wears a shell that takes two touches. One is counting down, and at zero it armours up. Two take the level back from you: a trap that returns you to the start of this level, and one darker thing that returns you to level one. Each board also carries one blast, which takes a color wherever it sits on the board and clears the hazards it touches. It is never required - every level can be finished by touch alone - and it is the one move a finger cannot make. There is not a single word in the game. The rules live behind the i in the corner, drawn: a board before, an arrow, the same board after, generated by the same code that runs the game, so the diagram cannot drift from the rule. Plays offline. No account, no sign-in, no purchases. Ads support it: one between levels every so often, and optional videos while a board is live - another blast, your last touch back, or one hazard off the board - never more than two on the same board, plus one to carry on after your touches run out. None of them is ever required to finish a level.
