Using HTML, CSS aligns items horizontally using display: inline-block to create a 3-tile layout.

Use display: inline-block to create a tiled layout, without using float, flex or grid.
Use width in combination with calc to divide the width of the container evenly into 3 columns.
Set font-size for .tiles to 0 to avoid whitespace and to 20px for <h2> elements to display the text.
Note: If you use relative units (e.g. em), using font-size: 0 to fight whitespace between blocks might cause side effects.
