Page Shuffle

The pages of a document got shuffled. Slide them back into order, from page 1 to the last page, with the gap in the bottom-right corner. Fewer moves is better.

Tap or click a page next to the gap to slide it. With a keyboard, focus the board and use the arrow keys.

How to play

  1. Choose a board: 3 × 3 has 8 pages and is quick; 4 × 4 has 15 pages and takes longer.
  2. Slide a page into the gap by tapping or clicking it. Only pages next to the gap can move.
  3. Finish with the pages in reading order, 1 to the last page, and the gap in the bottom-right corner.

Every game is dealt by sliding pages from the finished order, so every game can be solved.

Questions

Can I play with a keyboard?

Yes. Press Tab until the board is focused, then use the arrow keys: the up arrow slides the page below the gap up, and so on. You can also Tab to a page and press Enter.

Where is my best score kept?

Only in this browser. Nothing about your games is sent to us, and clearing your browser data removes it.

Is there a strategy?

Put the top row in place first, then the left column, and keep shrinking the unsolved area. The last 2 × 2 corner is solved by circling the pages around the gap.
