can you unshuffle the picture?
№ 1Shuffly is a free daily sliding picture puzzle. Everyone gets the same picture each day, cut into square tiles with one gap and jumbled up. Slide the tiles back into place until the picture is whole again. There's a new picture every day: a sailboat at sunset, a hot-air balloon, a lighthouse, a sleepy cat, a rocket or a cottage garden.
Tap a tile next to the gap to slide it in. You can also tap a tile further along the gap's row or column: the tiles between slide along together, and each tile counts as one slide. Tiles that can slide have a white outline. The finished picture is always shown above the board, and each tile can show its number, 1 at the top left reading across to the bottom right, with the gap ending in the bottom-right corner.
Each day is Easy, Medium or Difficult, shown on the badge. About half of all days are easy: a 3×3 picture that can be finished in 6 to 8 slides. About a third are medium: 3×3 in 10 to 12 slides. Roughly one day in seven is difficult: a 4×4 picture in 10 to 12 slides. Mondays are always easy, and difficult days mostly land at the weekend.
The game works out the exact fewest slides needed (par). Every slide takes the picture exactly one slide closer to finished or one slide further away. Slides that bring it closer are free. A slide that takes it further away is a wasted slide and costs a step: none earns 12 points, then 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2, and a sixth wasted slide ends the day. Sliding the same tile straight back undoes it for free (the wasted slide still counts once). Stuck? The helper makes the next best slide for you, and its slide doesn't count. It halves the day's score and is only available until your third wasted slide. If the day ends before the picture is finished, you can keep sliding to finish it just for fun: there are no points for it, and your result, streaks and share stay exactly as they were.
Your play streak counts the days in a row you've played, and your solved streak counts the days in a row you've solved the puzzle. Play seven days running and you earn a 7-point bonus, or 14 points if you solved all seven. Miss a day and the streaks start again. A new puzzle arrives every day at midnight UTC.
You never need to tell colours apart: with numbers shown (the default), every tile carries its number, and the puzzle is simply to put them in order. Screen readers announce each tile's number, where it is, whether it's in place and whether it can slide. On a keyboard, the arrow keys slide a tile into the gap in that direction, and Tab with Enter works too. High contrast adds bold outlines and larger numbers. Your settings are remembered. There's no clock, and the shimmer when you finish switches off if your device asks for reduced motion.
