Tappable vs blocked
Only tiles without any overlap are tappable. Pick carefully to expose deeper layers.
Calm, tactical 3‑tile matching.
Clear a layered frosty board by collecting three‑of‑a-kind in a 7-slot tray. Every move is deliberate; every tap reveals a new layer.

How it works
The rules are simple, but the stacks reward clear thinking and calm focus.
Auto-clear in the tray
Picked tiles fall into a 7-slot tray. Three matching tiles auto-clear immediately and free space.
Win or lose
If the tray fills to seven tiles after auto-clears, you lose the round. Empty the board to win.

What the game is
3matchpuzzle is a calm, tactical 3-tile matching puzzle set on a frosty, cozy board. Tiles stack in layers; only tiles not covered by another tile are tappable.
Each tap moves a tile into a bottom tray with seven slots. When three identical tiles sit together they clear instantly. After auto-clears, if the tray still holds seven tiles, you lose. Clear the entire board to win.
