15 Puzzle is a simple but challenging puzzle. When it first loads,
you should see 15 tiles on a 4x4 board. The tiles are numbered 1
through to 15, and are laid out in order, with no tile in the bottom right
corner as follows:
When you press the New button, the tiles will be
re-arranged.
The objective of the game is to move the tiles around the board so that
you achieve the initial pattern as above.
Moving tiles
Tiles are moved by pressing any tile in the row or column containing
the gap, i.e. the square with no numbered tile. This tile, together
with any tiles between it and the gap, will slide one square along in the
direction of the gap, so that the gap is filled. A new gap will, of
course, appear where the pressed tile was before.
Example: Given the following board layout
pressing on 10 would cause the following layout to occur
whereas pressing on the 7 would give you:
New puzzle
Just press New for a new shuffled tile layout at any time.
FAQ
Q. I can't solve the puzzle. How can I be sure that the tile
re-arrangement is one that can be re-arranged to form the target layout?
A. The tiles are not laid out at random. The shuffling is carried
out by making many moves starting from the initial layout, in the
background. This guarantees that the target layout can be achieved.
