## Description

Think you know your animals, foods, and everyday objects? Put your brain to the test!<br><br>Category Match is a fresh twist on tile-matching puzzles. Instead of matching identical tiles, you&#39;ll group items that belong together — like spotting that Eagle, Falcon, and Hawk are all Birds of Prey! Tap tiles from a beautifully stacked board, collect them in your tray, and complete full categories to clear them away.<br><br>Sounds simple? Here&#39;s the catch — your tray only has 4 slots! Pick from too many categories at once and you&#39;ll run out of room. Every tap counts!<br><br>HOW TO PLAY<br>• Tap free tiles to collect them into your tray<br>• Complete a full category to clear those tiles<br>• Manage your 4 tray slots carefully — fill them up and it&#39;s game over!<br>• Unblock hidden tiles by clearing the ones stacked on top<br><br>FEATURES YOU&#39;LL LOVE<br>• Hundreds of categories to discover — animals, foods, sports, countries, and many more!<br>• Layered boards with Mahjong-style stacking — plan your moves ahead<br>• Progressive difficulty that grows with you — from relaxing to brain-bending<br>• New features unlock as you play — boosters, special tiles, and the deck mechanic<br>• Beautiful card-based visuals with colorful icons<br><br>UNLOCK NEW MECHANICS AS YOU PROGRESS<br>• Hint Booster — stuck? Get a nudge in the right direction<br>• Magnet Booster — instantly complete an entire category<br>• Flipped Cards — mystery tiles that reveal their category when tapped<br>• Locked Cards — complete other categories first to unlock them<br>• Deck — stash your tray tiles and come back to them later<br><br>WHY YOU&#39;LL GET HOOKED<br>Category Match isn&#39;t just about speed — it&#39;s about thinking ahead. Which tiles do you pick first? Which category should you complete next? Can you clear the board without filling your tray? Every level is a unique puzzle that challenges your pattern recognition and strategic thinking.<br><br>Perfect for quick sessions on the go or longer puzzle-solving marathons. No pressure, no timers — just you, the tiles, and your brain!<br><br>Download now and see how many categories you can match!
