Pet Tile Master

Pet Tile Master is a triple-tile game with pets on the tiles. Each tile you pick is placed in a stack, and three identical pets in that stack clear away together. The stack has a hard ceiling. Once it holds nine tiles, the game is over.

Some tiles start out hidden, and the developer's advice is to make moves that uncover them, which is part of completing each level. Beyond that, the instructions are brief. They do not mention a timer, hints or shuffles, and there is no level count. The developer describes the puzzles as tricky and the play as relaxing; those are its claims rather than anything this page can check. What can be said is that the nine-tile stack is the whole source of pressure here, since it is the only way to lose that the developer mentions.

Tap or click a tile to pick it up and place it in the stack. Find three identical pets and get all three into the stack, where they clear. Keep space free, because if nine tiles end up in the stack the game ends. Clear tiles and uncover the hidden ones to complete each level, then carry on to the next.

Think of the stack as nine spaces to protect rather than nine tiles to fill. Before picking a pet, look for the other two of the same kind, so the set can be finished quickly. Since uncovering hidden tiles is part of completing a level, prefer picks that uncover something when the choice is otherwise even.

Farm Tiles Harvest uses the same nine-tile rule with farm produce and tools, plus a shuffle and a clock. Xmas Mahjong Trio Solitaire also clears trios through a stack of nine.
