Tile Shift · Sliding Number Puzzle Game
Tile Shift is a sliding number puzzle played against one shared clock: put the tiles back in order on a 3×3, then a 4×4, then a 5×5 board. Every solve adds time, and each new lap shuffles deeper and refills less.
How to play Tile Shift
- Tap a tile in the same row or column as the gap to slide it.
- Order the numbers from 1 with the gap in the last corner.
- Solve boards quickly to add time to the clock.
Controls
Tap a tile in the gap's row or column — or arrow keys / WASD.
Tips & tricks
- Solve the top row first, then the left column, and repeat on the smaller puzzle.
- Tap a far tile to slide a whole row at once and save time.
