Solitile Game Guide

Welcome to Solitile!

Solitile is solitaire for word lovers. Each deal shuffles a handful of little word families — Planets, Storms, Circles — across the columns and a draw pile, all jumbled together. Your job is to sort them home.

Open a crowned slot with a category card, file its words in, and clear every family before your move budget runs dry. Part patience game, part word association.

How to Play: Controls and Rules

1. Open a familyEach crowned card names a family of three. Drag one onto an empty crowned slot to open it.
2. File its words homeDrag each matching word onto the open slot. The third word completes the family — it pops and frees the slot for the next.
3. Juggle the columnsOnly four slots, six families. Park spare cards in the columns — same type stacks only — and un-bury what you need.
The twist

Mind your move budget.

Every card you move — and every draw from the pile — spends one of your moves. Recycling the spent pile back into the draw stack is free, so plan your route: open the families you can finish, use the columns as scratch space, and clear the board before the budget hits zero.

Because only four slots serve six families, order matters. Finish and free a slot before you open the family that needs it.
