You win the game by moving the tiles until the image is correct.

The tiles slide vertically and horizontally. If you click on an image tile adjacent to the empty square, it will move into the empty square. If you click on a tile in the same row or in the same column as the empty square, then all of the tiles between the tile you clicked and the empty square will move.

If you can't figure out how to win, you can get some help by selecting undo. Or you can let the game play itself by selecting play. If you want to start over, select reset. Then scramble the tiles once by selecting scramble.

What do these silly buttons do?

help Help. This button shows you this message. You probably already know this.
reset Reset. This button resets the game. All of the tiles are moved to their normal positions.
scramble Scramble Image. The tiles are scrambled by performing 20 random moves. Can you put the image back into the correct position with only 20 moves? If you'd like to make the game harder, you can scramble the tiles over and over.
play Start Automatic Play. The game will play itself. It will win. Then it will do the next model.
pause Pause Automatic Play. You can start it again from the same spot or you can play by yourself.
