The objective of a round
Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Step by step
- Select two pieces to swap.
- Desktop dragging can also swap tiles.
- Compare edges and the reference picture.
- Complete the image.
Using the playing area
Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
A useful example
The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
