About this game
Start with a 3×3 board, then switch to a larger grid once you can move the empty square where you need it. Every shuffle is made with legal moves from the solved arrangement, so the picture can always be put back together.
Sliding Tile Puzzle was part of Jonathan Hulka’s 2010 Virtual Toybox Puzzle Collection. The original gallery and photo-based cover use photographs by JS Nature Photos under CC BY-SA 3.0 US. You can also pick an image from your device.
