A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.
Your goal
Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
Step by step
- Select two pieces to swap.
- Desktop dragging can also swap tiles.
- Compare edges and the reference picture.
- Complete the image.
Controls
Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. Use the control method described here for this activity. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
