About the game
Tidy Tiles Puzzle is a free tile puzzle game you can play online on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
Every puzzle is a small wooden tray of tiles and holes. Your job is to tidy it: get every tile off the board. Tap an arrow tile and it pushes itself, and every tile in a line ahead of it, one step its way. Push a tile over a hole and it drops in. Tap a cross to clear it. Tap a star and it sinks, leaving a new hole behind for the others.
Each puzzle gives you a few moves, so think before you tap. If a board can't be finished any more, it says why and resets itself straight away, so you can try a new idea.
There are 15 puzzles, from a first one anyone can clear to some real head-scratchers. Tidy all 15 and 3 bonus puzzles open. The game keeps your fewest moves for every puzzle, so there is always a best to beat.
How to play
- On a phone or tablet: tap a tile to use it. Swipe the board right to reset it, or left to skip to the next puzzle. Back, Reset and Next buttons do the same.
- On a computer: click a tile, or use the keyboard: the arrow keys choose a tile, Space taps it, R resets, N and P go to the next or previous puzzle.
- Arrows push. Crosses clear. Stars sink into a new hole. Plain tiles only move when pushed.
Tips
- Look at where each arrow will push before you tap it: the whole line ahead moves together.
- A star is a hole you can place yourself. Sometimes the best spot for it is somewhere you push it first.
- Clear a cross only when it is in the way: it can also be a handy tile to push into a hole.
- Stuck? Skip ahead and come back later. Every puzzle stays open.
Good to know
- Free to play in the browser, with no download.
- No timer and no lives. A board that runs out of moves just resets.
- Your progress, the puzzles you've tidied and your best moves are saved in your browser.
