A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
