Restore a 4×4 landscape by exchanging two pieces at a time. Progress in this puzzle is not saved after you leave the page.

Read before acting

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Take a moment to understand the current position.

Step by step

  2. Desktop dragging can also swap tiles.
  3. Compare edges and the reference picture.

Controls

A useful example

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Check the stated objective.

Watch out for this

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
