Number Puzzle is a classic sliding tile puzzle game. The goal is to arrange the numbered tiles in order from 1 to 15 (or according to the grid size) by sliding them into the empty space. The game concludes when all numbers are aligned from left to right and top to bottom, leaving the empty space in the bottom-right corner.

What is it used for?

From the player's perspective, the application solves the logical challenge of reordering a board that has been randomly shuffled. It provides a structured environment with clear rules where the user can apply strategies—such as solving the top row first and then the leftmost column—to complete smaller sub-grids until the puzzle is finished.

Why should you use it?

  • Variety of levels: It allows you to change the puzzle size between 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5, adjusting the difficulty to the user's preference.
  • Performance tracking: It includes a moves counter that tracks how many steps it takes you to solve the puzzle, which is ideal for those looking to improve their efficiency.
  • Ease of start: It features a Shuffle button to instantly mix the tiles and start a new game at any time.
  • Accessibility and support: It is a free application (which accepts donations to stay that way) and is designed as a PWA (Progressive Web App), making it easy to access and share.
