A LITTLE ABOUT THE GAME

Slide the tiles home in the fewest moves.

Slide the numbered tiles into the gap until they run in order, 1 along the top to the gap in the bottom-right corner. Tap a tile in line with the gap and it slides, with every tile in between; tiles in their home spot turn yellow. Every deal is solvable, and each size is dealt to the same difficulty: a 3 × 3 always takes exactly 24 moves at best, and bigger puzzles are kept only if they need plenty. Each size has its own Plocky leaderboard for the fewest moves, with the faster time breaking ties.
