How to play Tile Connect
The board is full of picture tiles, and every picture appears in pairs. Tap two tiles with the same picture to clear them. They only clear if they can be joined by a line that:
- is made of no more than three straight parts, so it has at most two turns,
- does not pass through any other tile,
- may run around the outside edge of the board.
Tiles next to each other always connect, and so do two tiles on the same open edge of the board. Clear every tile before the time bar runs out to finish the level. Each match adds two seconds back to the clock.
Levels where tiles slide
Level 1 is a small warm-up board and level 2 is a full board of 80 tiles. After that, the tiles move after every match, so the board keeps changing:
| Level | What happens after a match |
|---|---|
| 3 | Tiles fall down to fill the gap |
| 4 | Tiles slide left |
| 5 | Tiles rise up |
| 6 | Tiles slide right |
| 7 | Tiles slide away from the middle |
| 8 | Tiles slide towards the middle |
After level 8 the patterns repeat with less time. Every level you clear is unlocked in the menu.
Scoring, hints and shuffles
Each pair scores 20 points. Match again within four seconds to build a combo of up to five times the points. When you clear the board, every second left on the clock adds 5 points. You get three hints and three shuffles on each level. If no pair can be matched at all, the board shuffles itself for free.
Tips
- Start at the edges. Tiles on the outside can connect around the border, so they are the easiest to clear.
- Clear pairs that block others. Removing a tile opens new routes for the tiles behind it.
- Think about the slide. On sliding levels, a match can move a pair together or pull it apart.
- Save shuffles for later. The board gets harder to read when only a few tiles are left.
