How to Play Sarah’s Shuffle

1. Getting Started

• Tap or click any tile that is directly next to the empty space (either above, below, left, or right).
• The chosen tile will slide into the open space, swapping positions.
• Continue doing this to shuffle the puzzle into its correct order.

2. Tile Movement & Strategy

• Only one tile can move at a time—and only if it’s adjacent to the blank spot.
• Watch the pattern carefully! Decide which tile to move based on where it needs to go.
• Sometimes it helps to move tiles temporarily out of place to make room for others.

3. Shuffling the Puzzle

• At the start of each round, the game shuffles the tiles randomly.
• Behind the scenes, it ensures the puzzle is always solvable, so every game is winnable.

4. Tips & Tricks

• Corner by Corner: Focus on placing one tile (or a small group of tiles) into its proper spot at a time. Once fixed, treat them as “frozen”—don’t move them again.
• Work in Layers: Solve the top row first, then the left column, and shrink the puzzle area as you go.
• Use the Blank Space Wisely: Think ahead—move tiles adjacent to the blank spot strategically to create space for your next move.

5. Game Completion
