Game Objective
Put the numbered tiles back in order starting from the top-left corner. You do not slide one tile at a time; each move rotates a small square group of tiles, usually a 2x2 group in the basic game.
Rotate the tiles around themselves to arrange them into order.
How to Play
In the basic game, click the point where four tiles meet to rotate that 2x2 group. Left-click rotates it counterclockwise, and right-click rotates it clockwise.
These puzzles reward careful deduction more than speed. Start with the most constrained clues, eliminate impossible choices step by step, and avoid guessing unless the puzzle specifically calls for it.
Beginner Tips
- One rotation moves all four tiles in that 2x2 group, so watch the whole group, not just one tile.
- Try to bring tiles near their correct area first, then use small rotations to fix the exact order.
- When an area is already solved, avoid rotating through it unless you have a plan to restore it.
