Bring this focus to a round

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.

Aim for this result

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Start here and follow along

  1. Select two pieces to swap.
  2. Desktop dragging can also swap tiles.
  3. Compare edges and the reference picture.
  4. Complete the image.

The controls to know

Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

See the idea in action

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.

A useful caution

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
