One thing to notice as you play
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
The purpose of your moves
Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
From the start of a round
- Select two pieces to swap.
- Desktop dragging can also swap tiles.
- Compare edges and the reference picture.
- Complete the image.
Using the playing area
Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.
Put the rules into context
The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.
A common point of confusion
This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
