Tiles #46 (November 11, 2026): Lantern Board, Layer Mix and a Perfect 45-Combo Route

Tiles #46 was the Lantern board at hard difficulty on Wednesday, November 11, 2026: 30 tiles in 5 columns and 6 rows, each tile a stack of 3 layers (shape, ring and glyph), with 8 different shapes, 8 rings and 8 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 63 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.

row 1, column 1 → row 1, column 3: they share the glyph (heart).
row 1, column 3 → row 1, column 4: they share the ring (solid ring).
row 1, column 4 → row 1, column 5: they share the glyph (hollow dot).
row 1, column 5 → row 3, column 3: they share the shape (pentagon).
row 3, column 3 → row 1, column 2: they share the glyph (dot).
row 1, column 2 → row 3, column 2: they share the shape (diamond).
row 3, column 2 → row 3, column 4: they share the glyph (star).
row 3, column 4 → row 2, column 3: they share the shape (hexagon).
row 2, column 3 → row 4, column 3: they share the glyph (crescent).
row 4, column 3 → row 4, column 5: they share the shape (pentagon).
row 4, column 5 → row 2, column 4: they share the glyph (heart).

51 more taps complete the chain without a single miss.
