Pick a picture. Fill the tray.
TileWhirl puzzles are trays of colored tiles. Every pattern is here, free and full size. Prop up your phone or tablet next to the tray and start building.
Choose your tray
Each tray has its own shape, its own tile set and its own pattern library.
Square
356 patterns. A 12 × 12 grid of 144 square tiles. Every picture is like pixel art you build by hand.
Triangle
164 patterns. An equilateral triangle of tiles that point up and down in turn. Comes in an 8-row and a 12-row tray.
Star
134 patterns. Five diamonds meet at the center to make a five-pointed star. Comes with 45 large tiles or 80 small ones.
Hex
270 patterns. A hexagon filled with 72 trapezoid tiles that can be laid out in many different ways.

Build this patternMade for building at the table
- Build mode fills your screen with the pattern and keeps the screen awake.
- Tile counts on every pattern, so you can sort your colors before you start.
- Row letters and numbers on the square and triangle patterns, so you never lose your place.
- Built ticks keep track of which patterns you have finished.
- Print any pattern on a single page.
Challenges for when you want more
Logic puzzles and two-player games for each tray. Can you fill the star with just two colors? (You can't, and the reason is surprising.)
