    Frequently asked questions

    How do you solve a sliding puzzle?▾

    Solve it row by row: place the top row first, then the second row, and finish the last two rows column by column. Never break up a row you have already finished.

    Is every sliding puzzle solvable?▾

    Not every random arrangement is, but this game shuffles by making random legal moves from the solved board, so every puzzle it gives you can be solved.

    What is the 15 puzzle?▾

    The 15 puzzle is the 4×4 sliding puzzle with tiles numbered 1 to 15 and one empty space. It became a worldwide craze in the 1880s and is still a classic brain teaser.
