What is Tilbo?
Tilbo is a daily letter-matching game that combines word building with board clearing. Type a word of any length, then tap the neighbouring matching tiles that light up. Remove every tile to win. If the grid fills completely, the game ends.
How to play
- Choose Easy, Medium, or Hard for the daily puzzle.
- Type a word into the board.
- Tap the neighbouring matching tiles that light up.
- Keep clearing groups until the grid is empty.
- Use the menu to access Unlimited or Timed mode.
Modes
The daily puzzle is available in Easy, Medium, and Hard.
The menu also lists Unlimited mode, though its scoring and progression rules were not reviewed. Timed mode is listed there as well; its time limit and scoring rules were not reviewed.
Tilbo's feedback works by tile position rather than color.
Neighbouring matching tiles light up after you enter a word, showing which tiles you can tap to clear. The signal marks neighbouring tiles, rather than letter positions as in Wordle. The tutorial presents lighting and clearing tiles as the game’s central loop.
Tips for clearing the board
Try more than the first valid word. Words can be any length, so choose ones that light up adjacent matching tiles you can remove.
Clear a useful lit cluster promptly, before later board growth buries it.
