From the start of a round
- Select a tile directly beside the empty square.
- The tile slides into the gap; diagonal moves are not allowed.

See the idea in action
When the gap is in the last square, only the tile above it and the tile to its left can move into it. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A mistake to avoid
A distant tile cannot jump across other tiles. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
