Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What counts as success

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.

Making your moves

  1. Select two pieces to swap.
  2. Desktop dragging can also swap tiles.
  3. Compare edges and the reference picture.

How to use the controls

Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

An example before you play

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.

Keep this in mind

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
