How to play

  • The card shows the title, timer, moves, tile grid, and Shuffle button.
  • The verified board is a 4x4 photo-tile layout.
  • The timer continues while the puzzle is on screen.
  • The Shuffle button is the visible state-change control.

Controls

  • Tap Shuffle to reshuffle the board.
  • Use the move counter as the main progress signal.
  • Watch the tile arrangement rather than expecting a textual success prompt.

Strategy tips

  • Use the first screenshot to understand the tile relationships before shuffling again.
  • Treat the timer as a pressure signal rather than a solved-state marker.
  • Compare tile edges and landmarks after each shuffle to understand the board layout.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming the puzzle is solved or solvable from the entry board without reshuffling.
  • Ignoring the timer and only watching the move count.
  • Treating the shuffle as a cosmetic effect; it really rearranges the board.
