## What is SlideSage?

Meet SlideSage, a tactile 3D sliding puzzle that helps you play, understand, and solve.

Enjoy a beautifully molded number or picture board, choose a challenge, and slide one tile—or a whole aligned row or column—into the empty space. When you get stuck, AI Coach highlights a useful tile, explains the physical direction, and lets you choose: watch the move with Show me, or learn by making it yourself with Let me try.

PLAY YOUR WAY

• Number and picture puzzles from 3×3 to 7×7
• Easy, Medium, Hard, and Random challenges
• Single-tile and multi-tile sliding
• Bundled artwork or your own photos
• Undo, Shuffle, New Game, and solved-picture preview
• Automatic saved-game recovery

LEARN WITH AI COACH

• See the recommended tile and direction clearly
• Preview a short validated route
• Choose Show me for an animated move
• Choose Let me try for interactive guided practice
• All puzzle analysis runs on your device

SOLVE A PUZZLE YOU ENTER

Enter a 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 arrangement, use 0 for the blank, and let SlideSage calculate a solution. Then inspect the moves step by step in the 3D replay player.

BUILD A DAILY HABIT

• One deterministic Daily Challenge for every UTC date
• Seven-day challenge dashboard
• Local Personal Records, best times, fewest actions, hint-free results, and streaks
• Animated Game Win replay and clear result metrics

MADE TO FEEL PHYSICAL

Rounded 3D tiles lift, slide, and land inside a recessed molded board. Subtle per-tile device motion adds depth while Reduce Motion and Low Power Mode provide calmer alternatives. VoiceOver labels and adaptable layouts keep the important controls accessible.

FREE OR PREMIUM

SlideSage is free to play with ads. Optional rewarded ads can refill AI Coach, Undo, and Solution Playback credits. New installations include 2 free Solution Playbacks, and each related rewarded ad adds 1. SlideSage Premium removes all ads and provides unlimited AI Coach, Undo, and solution playback. Subscription terms and localized prices are shown before purchase; plans can be restored in the app and managed through the system-wide iOS subscription interface.

No account is required for puzzle play, coaching, saved games, daily challenges, or personal records.

### 1/5 — Needed help with Nancy Drew. It said it was unsolvable

*2026-06-30*

Me and my mother were playing a Nancy Drew game and this app is exactly what we thought we needed. We did everything correctly and it said it was unsolvable. Maybe if it worked better it could be on the same level Nancy Drew senior detectives need

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-07-23*

I like the app very much specially for the AI hints. THANKS! Allow learning.
It would be even  a lot better  (10  stars :) ) if the AI hints  or  helps were given much more slowly and with the possibility of repetition.. It is very difficult to follow the hint so fast !! That’s the best of the app, to help us learning! If needed an additional price could be justified.
In the iphone version I hate the Ads!! I’d prefer to pay for an app with one time payment, and  not to have to see or being interrupted by undesirable publicity.

Thanks for this great app specially for the learning feature with AI hints

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-07-08*

The AI can’t solve anything that hasn’t already been solved. Basically, if any numbers are out of order, it says the puzzle is unsolvable.

### 5/5 — Great app

I wish also the numbers could be erased in the pictures to increase the challenge.
Thanks for this great app an the learninf feature with AI hints

Read the title enough said.

*2024-04-01*

Would be great if it could solve 6x6 puzzles.

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-05-14*

I enjoy these slide puzzles with the options to turn off the numbers and to choose how big of a puzzle I want to do, with enough photos to keep it interesting.
