About Tile Swap
Tile Swap is a sorting puzzle. Numbered tiles are shuffled across a grid and you swap any two of them to put them in order. Because any pair can be swapped, planning the shortest route matters more than dexterity.
How to play
- Tap one tile, then another, to swap them.
- Arrange the numbers from smallest to largest, left to right and top to bottom.
- Use no more swaps than the par shown to earn three stars.
Tips and strategy
- Send each number straight to its correct spot instead of shuffling around it.
- Look for two tiles that belong in each other's places: one swap fixes both.
- Count how many tiles are out of place to estimate the par.
Levels, stars and XP
Finish a level to earn one to three stars and XP towards your player level. Replay any unlocked level to improve your stars. From level 151 the game enters endless mode, where each level is a remix of an earlier one with fresh colours and a slightly higher difficulty.
