Sliding Puzzle is a classic 15-puzzle: numbered tiles sit in a grid with one empty space, and you slide tiles into that gap to put every number back in order as fast as you can.
Click any tile adjacent to the empty space to slide it into the gap. Reorder every numbered tile from smallest to largest, reading left to right, top to bottom, to solve the puzzle.
Solve the top row first, then the next, working row by row until only the last two rows remain. Finish those two rows column by column.
The sliding tile puzzle exploded in popularity in 1880 as the "15 puzzle" and has been copied in countless forms since.
