How to play

  1. Tap two bright tiles with the same face to lift them away.
  2. Dim tiles are blocked: a tile lies on them or both sides are covered.
  3. Hint shows a pair for 10 points; Shuffle re-deals the faces, twice per board.
  4. No moves and no shuffles left ends the game.

Controls

Keyboard

  • ← → ↑ ↓ move between free tiles and the buttons
  • Space or Enter picks a tile
  • Z hint
  • P pause

Touch

  • Hint, Shuffle and Undo sit under the board

Controller

  • A / Cross for action, B / Circle for secondary
  • Start to pause

Tips for a better score

  • When more than two free tiles share a face, match the ones sitting on other tiles or closing off a row end, since those free up the most.
  • Matches made within about four and a half seconds of each other build a combo that lifts a pair from 20 points to as much as 120.
  • When the board says it is shuffling, you have about a second to press Undo and keep that shuffle; each one unused at board clear is worth 150.
  • Press Z again while a hint is lit and the cursor hops to the other tile of the pair, with no second charge.

About Tile Pairs

Tile Pairs is a matching solitaire played on a stack of ivory tiles up to four layers deep, laid out as a pyramid, a flower, a bridge or a fortress. A tile is free when nothing lies on top of it and its left or right side is open, and you remove free tiles two at a time when their faces match. Every board is dealt so it can be cleared, but the order you take pairs in matters, and a careless match can leave you stuck. Quick matches in a row build a combo, and clearing a board earns a bonus and a new shape.
