Player guide
Fifteen Puzzle solving notes
Fifteen Puzzle is easier when you solve it in layers. Finish the top row first, then the next row, and leave the final small square for careful rotations.
- Move one row into place before fixing the whole board.
- Keep the empty square close to the tile you want to move.
- Use small cycles instead of pulling solved tiles apart.
Solving
Solve rows before chasing the whole board
Fifteen Puzzle punishes random moves because solved tiles can drift apart quickly. A steadier plan solves the top row first, then the next row, and leaves the final cluster for rotations.
The empty space is your tool. Keep it near the tile you want to move, and use small cycles to shift a number without tearing apart the row you already solved.
- Finish one row before moving to the next area.
- Use the empty square to rotate tiles around a small loop.
- Protect solved tiles unless a short detour is needed.
