Two tiles may sit side by side only when their touching edges match: that single rule is the whole game.

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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tilewright at none against Hoshitsunagi's shown. Tilewright also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Hoshitsunagi's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
