Mondo Knows Games
Sliding Puzzle
A classic fifteen-puzzle. One square is empty and the tiles around it slide into the gap. Work the numbers back into order from 1 upwards, finishing with the blank square in the bottom-right corner. Every puzzle Mondo deals is guaranteed solvable. Switch to Picture mode and the same board becomes an image slider: four hand-drawn scenes cut into slices that have to be slid back into place, on 3x3 or 4x4.

How to play
- Click a tile next to the empty square to slide it.
- Picture mode uses the same moves, but the tiles show slices of a scene instead of numbers.
- Reorder the tiles so they read 1 to 8 (or 1 to 15) left to right.
- The empty square ends in the bottom-right corner.
- Fewer moves and less time is a better result.
Controls
