Tiles #27 (October 23, 2026): Terrazzo Board, Layer Mix and a Perfect 45-Combo Route

Tiles #27 was the Terrazzo board at hard difficulty on Friday, October 23, 2026: 30 tiles in 5 columns and 6 rows, each tile a stack of 3 layers (disc, triangle and square), with 8 different discs, 8 triangles and 8 squares in play. Every layer value appears an even number of times and no two tiles are identical. The longest possible combo is 45: clear the board in one unbroken chain where every match removes exactly one layer. Our solver confirmed such a chain exists after 62 search nodes, which is what the hint button follows when it marks a tile. One shape per layer, only the colours change.
