One thing to notice as you play
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Keep the objective visible.
Aim for this result
Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
How a round unfolds
- 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. Check any mode label before starting.
Work through an example
The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
One detail worth checking
This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
