One thing to notice as you play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
What you are aiming for
Arrange 1 to 15 in reading order with the empty square at the bottom right. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Select a tile directly beside the empty square.
- The tile slides into the gap; diagonal moves are not allowed.
- Use Undo to step back one move.
- Finish the ordered board, or choose New puzzle.
Input guidance
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A closer look at one example
When the gap is in the last square, only the tile above it and the tile to its left can move into it. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.
A mistake to avoid
A distant tile cannot jump across other tiles. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
