Block Slide

Free

Wooden blocks are packed into a tray, and each one slides only along its length. Shuffle them out of the way so the gold block can slide out through the gap in the wall. Every tray is checked by a full search, so each has a true par: the fewest moves that free the gold block. Ten trays, from a warm-up to a real brain-burner.

Controls: Drag a block along its length, or tap a block and then tap where it should go. Z undoes, R restarts the tray. On a phone: drag the blocks; UNDO and RESTART are at the bottom.

How to play Block Slide

Block Slide is a sliding-block puzzle. Get the gold block out of the tray in as few moves as you can.

Controls: Drag a block along its length, or tap a block and then tap where it should go. Z undoes, R restarts the tray. On a phone: drag the blocks; UNDO and RESTART are at the bottom.

Tips

  • Work backwards: which block is in the gold block's way, and what has to move so that block can get clear?
  • Long blocks are the hardest to clear. Find their free space first.
  • One move is one block slid any distance, so slide it all the way when that helps.
  • If you get stuck going round in circles, restart and look for a different first move.
  • Undo still counts as a move for the stars, but it's quicker than restarting.
