TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, 2026 — ISSUE NO. 003
A new puzzle every morning. Free to play. No sign-up.
Issue No. 003 of Spill the Tiles ran on Tuesday, August 18, 2026 with 20 clues across a 15×15 grid. The day's entertainment headlines behind this grid: The role of Gilderoy Lockhart in HBO's Harry Potter series has been cast; Paapa Essiedu will play Severus Snape in HBO's Harry Potter series; HBO's Harry Potter series, adapting the Philosopher's Stone, arrives Christmas 2026. Every answer was checked against its original reporting before it reached the grid, and anything a trusted outlet could not confirm was either flagged as a rumour or left out.
