Practice with a purpose

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

The objective of a round

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

The steps to play

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

Getting comfortable with the controls

Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.

One way to understand the rules

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Consider the next action carefully.

Keep this in mind

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. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
