Sliding Puzzle

How to Play the Sliding Puzzle

Welcome! The goal is to arrange the numbered tiles in order, from 1 to (number of tiles - 1), leaving the last space empty.

Instructions:

1. Choose Puzzle Size: Use the buttons above the puzzle grid to select your desired grid size (e.g., 3x3, 4x4, 5x5).
2. Shuffle: Press the "Shuffle" button to randomly rearrange the tiles. This will start a new game.
3. Move Tiles: Click on any tile that is directly adjacent to the empty space. The clicked tile will slide into the empty space.
4. Arrange Numbers: Continue moving tiles until all numbers are in sequential order, with the empty space in the bottom right corner.
5. Track Moves: The move counter displays the number of moves you've made. Aim for the lowest number of moves to solve the puzzle efficiently.

Tips and Strategies:

• Start by focusing on positioning the corner tiles correctly.
• Then, focus on the tiles along the edges (top row and left column).
• Be patient! Some puzzles may take time and strategic thinking.
