About Number Puzzle
Number Puzzle is the classic 15-puzzle: fifteen tiles and one gap on a 4×4 board. A tile may slide into the gap if it shares an edge. GameZumoza only presents shuffles that are solvable — some random arrangements never reach 1–15 in order, so the generator rejects those. Moves are counted. There is no timer pressure unless you impose it yourself.
How to Play Number Puzzle
- Press Play to shuffle a solvable board.
- Move a tile that sits next to the empty space into that space.
- Use taps, swipes, or arrow keys (arrows move the gap).
- Arrange tiles from 1 to 15, left to right, top to bottom, with the gap at the end.

Tips for Playing Number Puzzle
- Solve row 1 completely before you touch the lower rows.
- Place 4 only after 1–3 are set, then treat that row as frozen.
- The last two rows are a small loop puzzle — do not panic-slide the whole board.
- If a tile is in place, avoid moving it unless you are finishing the final rows.
