8 NYT Tiles Strategies To Score Huge Combos
07.04.2024 - 22:13 / screenrant.com / Matthew Danielson
One of the five games available on the mobile app is , a game where you use different strategies to pair visual designs together and form huge combos. Your goal for this game is to look at a series of tiles on a 5x6 grid and find similarities in their designs. Your combo builds when you find the most matches between various aspects of two different tiles.
Some of the factors you need to be looking for in any two tiles are their color and patterns, which are organized in multiple layers to form a single image. A stark contrast from the crossword puzzles, this game challenges your ability to perceive similarities. Every palette made has a common ground for you to recognize and use as your combo continues to grow.
Every tile you see will have different color shades for each pattern that makes up the whole picture. There are usually three color shades for a tile icon, distinguished by the backgrounds of the image created by various symbols and what images they create. When you are trying to match different to start a combo, it can be tricky to tell which colors are the same when most have similar shades.
Most of the time, the colors are pretty distinct, with bright hues that are somewhat easy to identify during a game. Depending on the palette you select, colors could be incredibly simple or much more complex to recognize between single pictures. Take the time to distinguish color schemes in carefully to successfully pick similar images every time and increase your combo's score.
As each palette becomes harder and harder to interpret, the background layers can start to blend, making it harder to understand what exists in an image. Try to break down one image into a few layers of two or three to separate which patterns are being used. For example, an image like the one in the above video by YouTube creator Lucas C can be broken down into patterns that make up each layer.
One of the best ways to approach this strategy is to start from the outer border of an individual image. Similar to the game, you can use the work from the outside of the pattern provided and work inward to make important distinctions. Try to recognize the patterns on layers by working your way toward the center of one image, then see what other tiles use the same layer in their design.
It may be tempting to build your combo by matching three or four tiles whose patterns you think match without error. However, even if you are confident in matching layers, colors, or other aspects of an image, it can still carry some risks. There's no need to put your combo in danger by trying to make a huge guess regarding an icon's layer and how it relates to another space on the game board.
The smallest number of matches you should aim for are
