Glyph Pairs is a tile matching solitaire that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player. It has a daily challenge, the same for everyone that day.

Glyph Pairs in play

You clear a layered layout by matching pairs of invented glyph tiles, but only open tiles count: nothing on top, and the left or right side clear. There is no timer, hints, shuffles and undo are unlimited, and the game reshuffles when no open pair is left. Layouts cycle through nine shapes, with a daily layout too.

Controls

  • Tap two matching free tiles
  • H for How to play
  • Hint, Shuffle and Undo are free

Tips

  • The pips under a mark run one to four and repeat the ink, so when two inks look alike, compare pip counts rather than colour.
  • Each upper layer is the interior of the one below, so the middle is deepest; a pair that uncovers the centre does more than one at the rim.
  • Hint, Shuffle and Undo are free apart from a count on the end card, but a shuffle wipes the undo history, so undo first if you want a pair back.

What makes a tile free in Glyph Pairs?

Two things at once: no tile sits on top of it, and the tile to its left or right on the same layer is gone. Top and bottom neighbours do not matter. On a tall screen the layout is turned before dealing, so left and right always mean what you see. Tapping a blocked tile just flashes it.

What happens when no pairs are left?

The game shuffles the remaining tiles by itself and tells you so. The shuffle is built to be solvable, like every deal, which is laid by removing free pairs in reverse. Shuffles and hints are counted on the end card beside your time, but nothing stops you using them. There is no time limit.
