🧩 Hanoi Tower Trio
<p>Just three disks make this the perfect first taste of the Tower of Hanoi and its hidden, elegant rhythm. Hanoi Tower Trio is the ancient Tower of Hanoi: move a stack of graded disks to another rod, never placing a larger disk on a smaller one. Under the surface it's quietly training recursion, sequencing and pattern recognition. Bite-sized rounds and steadily climbing scores give it that moreish, come-back-tomorrow quality that brain games live on. Smooth on slow connections and gorgeous on big screens, it's made to be enjoyed by a worldwide audience. It runs instantly in your browser on phone, tablet or desktop with no download, no install and no sign-up. Controls are dead simple to learn but the depth keeps revealing itself the more you play. It sits comfortably alongside the other thinky games in our collection if you fancy a change of pace. Your best result is saved locally, so each visit you're really racing the toughest opponent of all — yourself. Beat a personal record and the built-in share buttons let you challenge a friend on WhatsApp or Telegram in one tap.</p>
