15 Puzzle: learn through an example

Take a closer look while playing
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Use the example to check your reasoning.
What the game asks you to do
Arrange 1 to 15 in reading order with the empty square at the bottom right. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Select a tile directly beside the empty square.
- The tile slides into the gap; diagonal moves are not allowed.
- Use Undo to step back one move.
- Finish the ordered board, or choose New puzzle.
Keyboard and screen controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
See the idea in action
When the gap is in the last square, only the tile above it and the tile to its left can move into it. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Check this before moving on
A distant tile cannot jump across other tiles. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
