Every seam agrees. Tilewright is a calm, cozy tile puzzle. Rebuild beautiful hand-drawn boards โ winding rivers, blooming meadows, old railways, buzzing circuit boards โ 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 โ 216 levels across nine hand-drawn worlds, each with its own art and mood. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY โข Restore โ place every tile so all seams agree โข Pathways โ fill the board and connect the banners by road โข Untangle โ rotate tiles until the picture flows โข Masterpiece Dominoes โ rebuild famous paintings pair by pair โข Warden โ 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.

Meet Pip: small paws, big plans, and a weakness for shiny things. In Teach the Thief, every heist starts with two choices. Pick two treasures that share a color, a shape, or both, then watch Pip scoop up everything that matches. The trick? Make every grab countโand leave the protected treasure alone. A LITTLE CHOICE. A BIG HAUL. Match different shapes of the same color to collect that color. Match the same shape in different colors to collect that shape. Match both to narrow the haul. Preview exactly what Pip will steal before you commit. 50 HEISTS TO OUTSMART Explore a playful museum map full of bite-sized puzzles. Plan around protected pieces, preserve useful pairs, and clear each board within your grabs. LEARN WITH PIP A hands-on Level Zero tutorial walks you through the basics. Experiment with free undo, restart, and hints as you find your way to the perfect heist. DRESS FOR THE JOB Earn Rose after Heist 4 and Midnight after Heist 15. Or give Pip a new look with optional King, Wizard, Pirate, Astronaut, Detective, and Chef outfits.

Just you, Pip, and one more clever little heist. Teach the Thief is free to play with ads after Heist 3 and later heists. A one-time No Ads purchase removes ads. Additional outfits are optional one-time purchases.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tilewright at none against Teach the Thief's 7. Tilewright also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.
