🎮 How to Play 15-Puzzle
🎯 Goal
Arrange the numbered tiles in order from 1 to 15, with the empty space in the bottom-right corner.
🎮 Controls
- Click any tile next to the empty space to move it
- Only tiles that are directly adjacent (up, down, left, or right) to the empty space can be moved
- Use arrow keys on your keyboard for faster play
📊 Scoring
- You start with points based on your level
- Each move costs you points - the higher your level, the more points you lose per move
- If your score reaches zero, you lose!
- Complete the puzzle before running out of points to win and advance to the next level
🏆 Progression
- Win a level to advance to the next one
- Each level gets harder - more moves needed to shuffle, higher penalties for each move
- Lose a level and you'll stay at the same level to try again
