Sliding Number Puzzle
Slide the tiles into order! This free online sliding number puzzle challenges players to arrange numbered tiles by moving them into an empty space. Choose a 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 board and use logic and planning to solve the puzzle in as few moves as possible.
How to Play
- Choose 3, 4, or 5 to select your board size.
- Press Start. One tile disappears, and the remaining tiles shuffle.
- Click or tap a tile beside the empty space to slide it horizontally or vertically.
- Arrange the numbers in order from left to right, starting with the top row. Finish with the empty space in the bottom-right corner.
When you solve the puzzle, the missing tile returns to complete the board! Select New Game to try another shuffle.
