Triple Tile
Triple Tile renders its puzzle as an actual physics pile: dozens of chunky 3D pieces — apples, bananas, cookies, ducks, whales, waffles, beach balls and more from a sixteen-symbol set — tumble onto the table and settle into a heap. You can only grab what's on top, and every piece you remove shifts its neighbors, gradually revealing what was buried beneath.
The seven-slot tray is both your workspace and your fuse. Tapped pieces line up in it; whenever three share a symbol they pulse, burst, and the row compacts. Tap greedily and you'll strand singletons — the moment a seventh unmatched piece lands, the level is over. Each level also carries explicit objectives, collecting set counts of particular symbols, so you're steering the pile toward targets rather than just emptying it.
A three-minute clock caps every level, though early boards fall well inside a minute. Across 200 levels the piles grow deeper and mix more symbols, stretching how far ahead you have to read the heap. The game reopens at your last uncleared level automatically, and a Daily Match hands every player the same date-seeded board each day, tracked with its own streak.
How to play Triple Tile
Everything in the pile is reachable eventually — the puzzle is choosing what to take now and what to leave buried.
- Survey the pile and the goal readout: a level is won by collecting the listed symbols, not by clearing the whole table.
- Tap any piece that has nothing resting on it — pieces pinned under others won't respond until they're uncovered.
- The tapped piece shrinks and slides into the next free tray slot at the bottom of the screen.
- When three tray pieces share a symbol, they burst automatically and the tray closes the gap.
- Keep collecting until every goal counter reaches zero — that clears the level and unlocks the next.
- Watch two failure clocks at once: the three-minute countdown, and a tray drifting toward seven pieces that don't match.
Tips and strategy
- Never take a piece without a plan for its triple — the fastest losses come from six orphaned pieces waiting on a seventh.
- Two of a kind in the tray is a promise: finish that triple before opening a new symbol whenever the pile allows it.
- Pull from the heap's edges when your tray is risky, and dig into its core only when the tray is clean — deep pulls expose several unknown pieces at once.
- Goal symbols outrank convenience: a comfortable triple that ignores the objectives spends time the clock won't refund.
- If a goal piece is buried, plan the excavation backwards — identify which visible pieces sit above it and build their triples on the way down.

Frequently asked questions
Is Triple Tile free?
Yes — all 200 levels and the Daily Match play free directly in the browser.
How do I win a level?
By collecting the symbols listed in the level's goals. Counters tick down as you pick goal pieces, and the level clears when every counter reaches zero.
How do I lose?
Two ways: the three-minute timer expires, or a seventh unmatched piece enters the tray. The tray is almost always what gets you.
Why won't some pieces respond when I tap them?
They're pinned under other pieces. Only pieces with nothing resting on top can be picked, so remove the covering pieces first.
Does the game remember where I was?
It does — your current level is saved locally, and the menu resumes you at the first level you haven't cleared.
Does it play well with a mouse?
Yes. The entire game is a single tap or click per piece — no dragging or gestures — so desktop and touch play identically.
