About Slide Puzzle
Slide Puzzle is the classic sliding tile (15 puzzle) brain teaser. Slide the numbered tiles one at a time into the empty gap until they are in order. Every shuffle is solvable, so there is always a way to finish. Start on the 3x3 board, then move up to 4x4 and 5x5 for a real challenge, and try the Art style to rebuild a picture instead of numbers.
Slide Puzzle is the classic sliding tile puzzle, also known as the 15 puzzle. Slide the numbered tiles into the empty gap until they are back in order from 1 upwards, in as few moves and as little time as you can.
Choose a 3x3, 4x4 or 5x5 board, and switch between the colourful Neon style and the Art style, where the tiles form a picture. Every shuffle is guaranteed to be solvable, you can undo moves, and your best score for each board size is saved on your device.

Slide Puzzle tips and tricks
