Building the board…

Tiles #37 was the Lantern board at medium difficulty on Monday, November 2, 2026: 30 tiles in 5 columns and 6 rows, each tile a stack of 3 layers (shape, ring and glyph), with 6 different shapes, 6 rings and 6 glyphs 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 61 search nodes, which is what the hint button follows when it marks a tile. Read the three layers apart: a big shape, a ring, a small glyph.

A perfect route for Tiles #37: the first 12 taps

One way to clear the board in a single 45-combo, as our solver plays it. Rows and columns are counted from the top-left corner.

  1. Start on row 1, column 1 (free pick).

  2. row 1, column 1 → row 1, column 4: they share the shape (pentagon).

  3. row 1, column 4 → row 1, column 2: they share the glyph (small diamond).

  4. row 1, column 2 → row 2, column 4: they share the ring (triangle frame).

  5. row 2, column 4 → row 2, column 2: they share the glyph (plus).

  6. row 2, column 2 → row 1, column 3: they share the ring (solid ring).

  7. row 1, column 3 → row 2, column 1: they share the shape (octagon).

  8. row 2, column 1 → row 1, column 5: they share the glyph (leaf).

  9. row 1, column 5 → row 3, column 4: they share the ring (dashed ring).

  10. row 3, column 4 → row 2, column 5: they share the shape (hexagon).

  11. row 2, column 5 → row 3, column 1: they share the glyph (heart).

  12. row 3, column 1 → row 4, column 4: they share the ring (square frame).

49 more taps complete the chain without a single miss.
