Tally Tiles tips

General habits that work on any day. Nothing here describes a particular day's grid or targets.

Play Tally Tiles

More tiles, more points

A solve scores target × tiles × multiplier. Any path that hits the target counts, so reaching it with three small tiles is worth more than with two big ones.

Guard the streak

The multiplier goes up every two solves in a row and reaches ×4 at six. Check the running sum before you let go; a wrong sum resets the streak.

Skip rarely

Every target has an answer on the board. A skip costs three seconds and the streak, so look a little longer first.

Undo, do not release

Dragging back onto the previous tile removes it. Fix a path before you let go instead of eating a wrong sum.

Expect longer targets

Targets start as two-tile sums and can need up to four once you have solved a few. Scan for bigger shapes as the run goes on.

Mind the clock

The run is 60 seconds and skips take time off it. Steady, correct solves beat fast guesses.
