Tiles #38 (November 3, 2026): the board and a perfect route
Building the board…
Tiles #38 was the Terrazzo board at medium difficulty on Tuesday, November 3, 2026: 30 tiles in 5 columns and 6 rows, each tile a stack of 3 layers (disc, triangle and square), with 6 different discs, 6 triangles and 6 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.
