Sliding Puzzle
The tile puzzle from every childhood pocket: slide the numbered tiles around the one empty space until they are back in order. Every board is shuffled using legal moves only, so every one of them can be solved.
How it works
- Arrange the numbered tiles from left to right, leaving the final space empty.
- Tap a tile directly beside the blank to slide it into the open space.
- Tiles cannot jump, move diagonally, or swap with each other.
- Every shuffle is made from legal moves, so every board is solvable.
The same rules are shown inside the app, on the puzzle’s overview screen — one tap opens the difficulty choice and how to play together, so you never have to go looking for them.
Good if you want…
- Rules you can explain in one sentence
- No reading required
- A quick go at something familiar
