About Tatami
Tatami rectangular tiling puzzle: tile an N×M grid with 1×2 / 2×1 rectangles so that no four tiles meet at any interior corner. 30 hand-crafted puzzles across 5 difficulty tiers.
Description provided by GameZipper.
How to play
- Gold cells are anchors — they belong to a pre-placed tile. Don't disturb them.
- No four tiles may meet at any corner. Wherever four cells meet at a single point, exactly two tiles must share that corner (not four).
- Click an empty cell to start a new tile, then click the partner cell (adjacent horizontally or vertically) to place it.
- Click an existing non-anchor tile to remove it.
Controls
This game supports touch, keyboard, mouse input; the exact controls are explained inside the game.
Questions
- What is Tatami?
- Tatami is a rectangular tiling puzzle. You must tile the entire grid with rectangles that cover exactly 2 cells (either 1×2 horizontal or 2×1 vertical), subject to one rule: at every interior corner of the grid, no four tiles may meet. Each puzzle has pre-placed tiles as anchors; you fill in the rest.
- How do you play Tatami?
- Click an unanchored cell to start a new rectangle; the second click sets the partner cell in the chosen direction. Click an existing rectangle to remove it. Press Enter to check, R to restart, H for a hint.
- Is Tatami free?
- Yes, completely free in your browser. No download required, works on mobile and desktop.
