Shingle Stacks

Stack sorting puzzle

Phones and computers

Shingle Stacks is a stack sorting puzzle that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

On a 37-cell hex roof, the stack with the longest run of a colour pulls in every neighbour whose top matches. Stacks hold two to six shingles in up to three colour bands, so one drop can set off a chain of slides. Roof 1 asks for 85 shingles cleared, each roof after it adds 25, and colours grow from four to six.

Tips

Shingles slide to the stack with the longest matching run on top, so one tall run keeps pulling in its neighbours; feed that cell instead of starting new piles.
A nail pays only when a clear happens on its cell, and clears happen where the longest run gathers, so grow a colour's main run on a nailed cell.
Every offered stack must be placed before three more come, and a roof with no room for the next one ends the run, so keep a few cells empty.

What ends a roof in Shingle Stacks?

Two things. Reaching the target, 85 shingles cleared on roof 1 and 25 more for each roof after, finishes the roof and opens the next one. Filling every cell so there is no empty one for the next stack loses it, and you play that roof again with a fresh deal.

How do the colour bands on a stack work?

A stack holds two to six shingles in up to three bands of colour, and only the top band counts for matching. When that band slides away to a neighbour, the band underneath becomes the new top and is checked again at once, which is how one drop sets off a chain of slides and clears.
