## What is Klotski?

Klotski brings the classic Chinese sliding-block puzzle Huarong Dao (华容道) to your phone — slide the large 2×2 block, Cao Cao, down to the exit gap and free him from the board.

THE REAL STORY
Based on the escape of the warlord Cao Cao after the Battle of Red Cliffs in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. This is the actual historical puzzle, not a generic numbered-block reskin.

19 VERIFIED-SOLVABLE PUZZLES
The Classic (Heng Dao Li Ma, an 80+ move challenge) plus 18 more across Easy, Medium, and Hard tiers — every single one checked by an exhaustive solver before it shipped, with a real "par" move count to beat.

STUCK? TAP HINT
A genuine solver, not a fake hint system — get the next correct move toward a solution any time you're stuck.

PLAY YOUR WAY
- Move counter, undo, and best-score tracking per puzzle
- Fully bilingual: switch between English and 简体中文 anytime
- No ads, no gambling, no chip economy — just the puzzle
- Works completely offline

From the makers of ChineseChess Pro Classic — the same Three Kingdoms world, a completely different kind of challenge.
