Game overview

Sliding puzzle classic

Tile Slider recreates the classic sliding tile puzzle in the browser. Each board scrambles numbers (or image tiles) and you must drag them into the correct order using a single blank space. It’s a simple concept that quickly becomes a brain teaser on larger grids.

Controls

Mouse or touch

  • Click / tap a tile adjacent to the blank to slide it into the empty spot.
  • Keep sliding until the configuration matches the goal arrangement.

Why play it?

Brain-training fun

  • Great for quick logic workouts and improving spatial reasoning.
  • Runs on any device with no install required.
  • Open-source code for educators or hobbyists exploring puzzle generation.

Tips

Master the board

  • Solve row by row: finish the top row, then move to the next.
  • Leave the last 2×2 block for a final cycle; classic sliding puzzle strategies apply.
  • Undo mistakes by reversing your steps—the blank space is your best tool.
