## What is Make Way for the King?

In a court crowded with sycophants, it can often be difficult to get where you are going.

Every square on the board holds a chess piece except one. Tap a piece that can legally reach the empty square and it moves there, leaving a new gap behind it. Nothing is ever captured. Steer that gap until the king reaches his ringed square, and the puzzle is solved.

The rules are chess. The difficulty is the crowd: the courtier blocking the king's path can only move where the rules allow, and clearing the way for one usually means shuffling three others.

WHAT'S IN IT

• 30 free puzzles in the Starter Mix, climbing from Easy to Crazy
• 20 packs of 30 puzzles each — Easy, Medium, Hard and Crazy
• A new free puzzle in every difficulty, every week
• Game Center achievements for solving in the fewest possible moves

EVERY PUZZLE IS SOLVABLE

Each one was generated and solved by machine before it shipped, so there is always a way through, and every puzzle shows the minimum number of moves it takes. A hint shows which piece the best solution moves next; tap again to play it. Undo as far back as you like, and resetting costs nothing.

FAIR PRICING

Every pack is $0.99. No subscription, no energy meter, no bundle you should have bought instead.

NO STRINGS

No ads. No account. No tracking — the app collects nothing. Plays entirely offline; the only network traffic belongs to the App Store and Game Center.
