A calm, clever tile-sorting puzzle. No timers, no rush — just clear the board!
Senior reviews editor
Column Associations is a tile-sorting puzzle game for Android, published by TapNation and listed in the Game category. Each tile shows an icon, and the aim is to sort those icons into columns so that every column holds a single category.
The listing presents it as calm and unhurried, with no timer and no clock running down. It suits anyone who wants a puzzle they can play at their own pace, and the listing rates it PEGI 3.
You tap a column and drop your tile onto it. When a column is filled with one category, it clears. The listing says the board is beaten once every category has been sorted.
The build we hold is Column Associations 1.0.2 (APKS split bundle) for Android 7.1 and up.

Because each tap can block or open up later moves, the listing points to planning several moves ahead. The challenge is choosing which column to drop into, not the tap itself.
The Rainbow Joker is a wildcard tile. The listing describes it as the spare piece for a board that is one tile short of a clear.
Using it well means working out in advance where it fits, so the final clears line up. The listing presents it as the tool for finishing a board that would otherwise stall.
The listing says the game works without a connection, so it can be played anywhere. There is no timer, no clock and no pressure to finish a level quickly.
Sessions can stay short or run long, since nothing ends a board except sorting it or getting stuck.
Each tile carries an icon from a category. The listing names animals, foods and vehicles, along with other categories it does not spell out.
Matching depends on the category, not on colour, so two tiles of the same animal or food stack together regardless of how they look.
