How SlideGlyph works (60 seconds)
The classic sliding puzzle, with pictures. One tile is missing; slide the others around the gap until the picture is whole.
1) Sliding
Tap any tile in the same row or column as the gap and the whole line slides toward it. Swipe to push the tile next to the gap, or use the arrow keys. Undo as much as you like.
2) Always solvable
Half of all random tile arrangements can never be solved. SlideGlyph never deals one: every board is made by sliding the finished picture apart with legal moves, so it can always be slid back together.
3) The method
Finish the top row, then the left column, and repeat on the smaller square that is left. The last two rows go in pairs. Numbers on the tiles turn gold when a tile is home.
