Jigsaw Puzzle: learn through an example

A small practice goal

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.

What the game asks you to do

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Start with a deliberate move.

Step by step

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

The controls to know

Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Learn from a sample situation

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

An important reminder

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
