How to play

  1. Pick a board size: 3 × 3 for a short puzzle, 4 × 4 for a proper challenge.
  2. Tap or click any tile in the same row or column as the empty space. It slides across, pushing any tiles in between.
  3. Keyboard: click the board, then use the arrow keys to slide a tile into the gap.
  4. Put the picture back together, with the empty space ending in the bottom-right corner.
  5. Numbers on the tiles show where each one belongs. Turn them off for an extra challenge, and use the small preview to check the scene.

About the game

Glade Slide takes one of the oldest puzzles around and gives it a fresh coat of paint. The picture is a sunny clearing drawn entirely in code for this site: a toadstool cottage with smoke curling from the roof, tall pines, an old oak, a winding stream and a scatter of wildflowers.

Each shuffle is made by sliding tiles at random from the finished picture, so a solution always exists. The 3 × 3 board is a good warm-up and usually takes a minute or two. The 4 × 4 board needs a plan, such as finishing the top rows first. Your lowest move count for each size is saved on your device.
