How to Play

Click or tap on a tile adjacent to the empty space to slide it. Arrange all numbers in order from 1-8, with the empty space in the bottom-right corner. Use arrow keys on desktop for faster moves.

Rules

The puzzle uses a 3x3 grid with 8 numbered tiles and one empty space.
Only tiles directly next to the empty space can be moved.
You win by arranging every tile in numerical order with the empty space in the last position.

Tips & Strategy

•Start from the top row and work downward so you do not disturb tiles you already placed.
•Use the empty space as a tool, not just a destination. Small setup moves often make later moves easier.
•For larger boards, solve rows and columns in groups instead of chasing one tile at a time.
•If you get stuck, pause and plan two or three moves ahead before clicking again.
