How ArrangeGlyph works (60 seconds)

A classic slide puzzle — but with row/column shifts for smoother play.

1) The goal

Put the tiles in ascending order (1 → last), with the hole in the bottom-right.

Easy: 3×3 Medium: 4×4 Hard: 5×5

2) How sliding works

Tap any tile in the same row or column as the hole. All tiles between shift, and the hole moves to where you tapped.

This makes the puzzle feel fast on mobile — fewer tiny “one-step” taps.

3) Score = time + moves

Faster is better, but fewer moves usually means you’re planning well. Your best for each size is saved on this device.

Tiny strategy (actually useful)

Lock a corner

Build the top-left area first. Once a few tiles are correct, try not to disturb them.

Use the hole like a “buffer”

Move the hole close to where you want to work. Then slide whole segments into place.

Row/column shifts are power

Instead of nudging one tile at a time, shift a line and “steer” the hole to control the flow.

Don’t chase perfection early

Get the rough structure right first. Then clean up the last 4–6 tiles calmly.
