How to play
Put the tiles back in order with the gap last. Click any tile in the gap's row or column to slide the whole run. Every shuffle is solvable.
Always solvableHalf of all random arrangements of a sliding puzzle can never be solved. These are shuffled by making random legal moves from the finished picture, so every one can be.
A strategySolve the top row, then the left column, and repeat on the smaller puzzle that is left. Place the last two tiles of a row together as a pair.
CountingEach tile that moves counts as one move, so sliding a run of three tiles counts three. Fewest moves per size is kept as your best.
