How to play Sliding Puzzle
The tiles are shuffled; the empty square is the only place a tile can move.
Slide one tile at a time until every number is back in order.
Smaller grids are quicker; larger grids take a few more minutes.
Tips for a better run
- Solve the top row first and then leave it alone.
- Keep the empty square moving in a small loop instead of dragging tiles at random.
- On a picture board, match the edge pieces first so the middle becomes easier.
