Abstract: A removable tile spacer for use in properly spacing floor tiles, wall tiles, counter tiles, and other tiles having a uniform shape is provided with an integrally formed handle angled upwardly and away from the flat body of the tile spacer. The tile spacer handle projects at an angle upwardly and outwardly from a junction at the distal end of a selected one of a plurality of legs forming the tile spacer body. By locating the handle remote from the intersection of the tile spacer legs a level or straight edge can be used to properly align the tiles as they are placed on a flat, supporting surface without obstruction from the tile spacer of the invention. Also, by locating the handle for the tile spacer at the tip of one of its legs, the tile spacer is provided with an extended lever arm to facilitate removal of the tile spacer from between tiles, should removal prove difficult.
