A practical guide to 15 Puzzle
Open 15 Puzzle, check the instructions and begin a round. Arrange 1 to 15 in reading order with the empty square at the bottom right. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Give this approach a try
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you need to achieve
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.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Making selections and moves
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.
See how the rules apply
When the gap is in the last square, only the tile above it and the tile to its left can move into it. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
A distant tile cannot jump across other tiles. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
