Sliding Puzzle Generator

Build a guaranteed-solvable 3×3 to 6×6 sliding puzzle from numbers or your own picture, then play it.

Grid size

The same seed and size always rebuild the same board — currently shuffling with “purebrowser”.

Tile content

Built-in pictures

Cropped to a square and sliced into 3×3 tiles, locally — nothing is uploaded.

Ghosts the finished picture — or the numbers in their home squares — over the board at low opacity, so you can see where each tile belongs.

Click or tap a tile next to the empty square, or press an arrow key to slide the neighbour it points at into the gap. Arrow keys are captured while no text field has focus, so they never scroll the page. Undo walks the real move history back; an optimal (IDA*) auto-solver is deliberately left out, so nothing here pretends to solve the puzzle for you.

About this tool

This sliding puzzle maker builds a playable 3×3 to 6×6 board from numbers, from a picture you upload, or from one of the built-in generated images — cover-cropped to a square and sliced into tiles — and every scramble is produced by starting at the solved board and applying hundreds of legal moves through a seeded mulberry32 generator that never undoes itself, so each arrangement is reachable from solved and therefore guaranteed solvable at any grid size, with the same seed always rebuilding the same board. Play it by click or arrow key with a move counter, timer, undo history and a faint target guide, then download a printable PNG sheet or the solved target image; shuffling, image decoding and drawing all happen in your browser and nothing is uploaded. An optimal auto-solver is deliberately not included, so the honest tools here are Undo and the target guide.
