An introduction to playing 15 Puzzle
Read the aim of 15 Puzzle, then make your first move. Arrange 1 to 15 in reading order with the empty square at the bottom right. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Practice with a purpose
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
The challenge in front of you
Arrange 1 to 15 in reading order with the empty square at the bottom right. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Follow these playing steps
- 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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
An example to follow
When the gap is in the last square, only the tile above it and the tile to its left can move into it. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Where a round can go wrong
A distant tile cannot jump across other tiles. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
