How to Play – 3T0

Welcome to 3T0, a clean and satisfying tile-matching puzzle. Your goal is simple: match three identical tiles to remove them and clear the board before your lives run out.

Quick Start

Tap a tile to select it.
Select two more of the same tile (total of three) to remove that triplet.
Keep making triplets to open space and clear all tiles.
You have limited lives—avoid random taps and mismatches.

Win: The board is empty. Lose: You run out of lives.

Controls

Tap tile: Select / confirm a match (automatically clears when 3 are selected).
Pause / Resume: Pause the game from the menu if available.
Restart: Start a new round after winning or losing.

Tips & Strategy

See the board: Start with obvious triplets to create space fast.
Plan ahead: Try to spot chains (one match revealing the next).
Protect lives: Don’t guess—scan for two visible twins before selecting the first tile.
Edges first: Clearing edges can open new patterns toward the center.
Tempo play: If a timer is enabled, lock in safe matches first, then hunt for longer chains.

Lives & Timer

Lives: Each mistake may cost a life. When lives reach 0, the round ends.
Timer (if enabled): Finish before time runs out. Pausing may stop the clock depending on settings.

Scoring (if applicable)

Base points: Each cleared triplet awards points.
Combos: Consecutive clears in quick succession can add bonus points.
Efficiency: Fewer mistakes, more points.

FAQ (Play Mechanics)

Q. I selected two matching tiles and got stuck. A. A triplet requires three identical tiles. Deselect by tapping elsewhere, then look for the third match.

Q. I can’t find any matches. A. Scan row by row for pairs first, then locate the third tile. Clearing edges often reveals new patterns.

Q. Does the app need internet? A. No. 3T0 is fully offline and does not collect personal data.
