CinderwellThree of a kind
Tap tiles into the queue. Three identical motifs clear. Simple to learn, tight when the board densifies.

Features
Why the hearth holds
A quiet matching puzzle with industrial boards, no clock, and just enough pressure from the queue.
Rising density
Early hearths leave room to think. Later boards stack copper and pewter until every tap costs a slot.
Foundry boards
Ingot, lantern glass, gear-blank, rivet and hammer-head motifs on iron-rimmed ceramic — industrial marks, no mascots.
No clock
There is no countdown. The only pressure is the queue filling under the board.
Ember tools
Spend embers on a hint or a shuffle when a late board locks. Packs are bought on the recharge page.
In the browser
This seed is a landing and recharge shell. The playable board lands in a later pass.
How to play
How the queue works
Four motions. The rest is reading the board.
Tap to select
Tap any free tile to send it into the match queue beneath the hearth.
Find three
Three identical motifs vanish. Mixed motifs stay in the queue and steal slots.
Clear the board
Empty the hearth before the queue fills. A full queue ends the shift.
Spend embers
On a locked board, use a hint or shuffle instead of forcing a bad tap.
