## What is Picture Tile Slider?

Picture Tile Slider is a really cool tile-sliding puzzle game, based on the 15-puzzle (or n-puzzle) game, with a ton of features. You'll love it!

This is the full version of the game and it is free and ad-supported. For the ad-free version, see "Picture Tile Slider Pro".

To solve the puzzle you arrange the tiles in number order, left to right then down. When you complete the puzzle you will be cheered on or applauded and have a chance to register your score.

FEATURES:

- Easy Tap-n-Slide. Just tap and tiles slide.
- Multi-Tile-Slide. Move more than one tile at a time.
- Auto-Save of the game progress.
- Auto-Pause of timer when game is closed/inactive.
- 4 puzzle layouts (3x3, 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6).
- Timer based score keeping for each layout.
- 2 second preview of solved puzzle.
- Use one of 70 sample HD pictures provided as the puzzle.
- Use pictures from your Photo Album as the puzzle.
- Take a picture with the Camera and use as the puzzle.
- Solvable-Puzzles-Only option.
- Show/Hide tile numbers.
- Save screenshots of solved puzzles.
- Tell-a-friend about the game from inside the game.
- Leave a review link inside the game for your convenience.

The puzzle is really fun to play and easy too - even a 6 year old can do it!

Turning off the Solvable-Puzzles-Only option makes it more challenging, because you don't know if the puzzle can be solved or not.

Turning off Tile numbers also makes it more challenging.

The game remembers the state of the game so if a call comes in you can answer it knowing that when you are done you can resume where you left off with the timer paused. Once you make a move the timer will resume.

The game also remembers which picture you were using no matter the source.

Please note that pictures you take with the camera from within the game to use as the puzzle are not saved in your Photo Album. Once you solve the puzzle you can save a screenshot of the puzzle itself.

## Key features

- Tap-n-Slide controls
- Multi-tile sliding
- Auto-save and auto-pause
- Multiple puzzle layouts (3x3 to 6x6)
- Use sample or custom pictures

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-07-28, version 6.1*

Keeps me on my toes

### 5/5 — Best of the sliders.

*2026-06-30, version 6.1*

I like that you can slide a whole row at once like you could a physical puzzle.  Also that the squares don’t change colors when put in the correct spot.

### 3/5 — Ads

*2026-06-05, version 6.1*

I have always loved sliding tile puzzles as a kid and decided to download some games. I liked this but the ad is a no for me.

### 5/5 — Entertaining

*2026-05-15, version 6.1*

Not very challenging but pretty addicting.

### 5/5 — More challenging than I thought it would be

*2026-05-03, version 6.1*

I enjoy this game. It's very challenging. I thought it was gonna be much easier. It was a good choice.

### 1/5 — Participating in SCAMS

*2026-03-26*

Beware, this app will try to rip you off. Between games, when it typically shows ads, it showed me a fake iPhone Home Screen with a popup warning claiming to be “Apple Security” saying that my phone was infected with viruses, click to resolve. This is a common scam to rip people off, my elderly dad was scammed out of $thousands the exact same way. I screenshot the bogus warning and I’m reporting this app to Apple, meanwhile DO NOT TRUST THIS APP!

### 5/5 — Love this App!!!

*2025-12-22, version 6.1*

Great for the mind and so addicting. My son and I play the same puzzle and try to beat the # of moves. I downloaded before a flight and played the whole time Time flew by. Love it!!!!!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2025-11-05, version 6.1*

I’ve played a lot and it’s exactly what a slide puzzle app should be!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-10-09, version 6.1*

I downloaded this game just a few days ago, and I can certainly say that I like the game. You could try to do a really fast 3x3, or try and figure out something bigger like 6x6, or anything in between. I like just playing the game for a few minutes to half an hour as something to pass the time. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this, and I hope you enjoy the game if you decide to play it.

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2025-09-17, version 6.1*

I’ve been unable to click the x on the ads. To move on to another puzzle, I’ve had to close the app and start it again
