Play 15 Puzzle with the rules at hand
Try 15 Puzzle at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Arrange 1 to 15 in reading order with the empty square at the bottom right. Use the example below to understand a decision. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
Something to practise
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Keep the objective visible.
What the game asks you to do
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. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Making your moves
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
Put the rules into context
When the gap is in the last square, only the tile above it and the tile to its left can move into it. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
Keep this in mind
A distant tile cannot jump across other tiles. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
