help ThinkFun Fifteen Puzzle FAQ
How does ThinkFun Fifteen Puzzle work?
The puzzle uses numbered tiles from 1 through 15 and one empty space. You slide adjacent tiles into the empty space until the numbers are arranged in order.
Why is it called the Fifteen Puzzle?
The name comes from its 15 numbered tiles. The classic format uses a 4 by 4 grid, with the fifteenth tile count plus one empty position.
Can the Fifteen Puzzle be solved by moving tiles directly?
No. Tiles cannot be lifted out and rearranged freely during normal play. Each move slides a neighboring tile into the single empty space, so the order must be rebuilt through legal moves.
Is ThinkFun Fifteen Puzzle portable?
Yes. It is a compact modern version of the classic sliding-tile puzzle. Its self-contained board makes it suitable for short solo play away from a table.
