Read full description

Turn your favorite photos into sliding tile puzzles. Select an image from your photo library or choose from built-in examples, then transform it into a classic sliding tile puzzle. Choose your difficulty level โ€” from 3ร—3 up to 6ร—6 โ€” and reconstruct the image by sliding tiles into place. Completely free โ€” no ads, no accounts, nothing locked behind a purchase. There's an optional tip jar if you'd like to support development. Track your performance as you play. The game records move count and completion time, and highlights when you beat your personal best. Need a little help? Enable hints in Settings and a tile will pulse to guide your next move โ€” with a configurable delay so you stay in control. Designed for focused, distraction-free play, with no unnecessary permissions and no data collection beyond what is required to run the game. Whether you want a short mental break or a more demanding puzzle, the difficulty scales to suit your preference.
