Number Slide Free online game

What is it?

Number Slide is a puzzle where you slide numbered tiles around a single gap to put them in order. Tap a number in the same row or column as the gap and every tile in between slides at once.

There are three board sizes, and the clock starts after you get a short look at the board. The faster you finish, the higher you rank. Boards are shuffled from the solved state, so every board can be solved.

How to play

1. Tap a number in the gap's row or column to slide it toward the gap (several at once, too)
2. Order the tiles from 1 with the gap in the bottom right to finish
3. The clock starts 3 seconds after the board appears. Faster is better

Difficulty and rankings

There's a weekly ranking and an all-time ranking; the weekly one resets every Monday at midnight (Korea time). For details, see the Help.

Good to know on Hanpanmadang

• Boards come in 3×3 · 4×4 · 5×5, and the clock starts 3 seconds after the board appears. Each board size has its own best record and ranking.
• Sliding several tiles at once counts as one move. Records are ranked by time only.

Common mistakes

Sliding tiles at random from the start.

Solve the top row first. Breaking up a solved row costs a lot of time.

Placing the last two tiles of a row one at a time.

The tile you place first gets pushed out when you place the other. Pair them up and let them go in together at the end.

Tips

• Solve the top row first, one row at a time, then the left column, and the remaining board keeps getting smaller.
• Solve the last two tiles of a row together: line them up side by side just below, then slide them in at once.
• Tiles in their correct spot turn bright. Try not to disturb rows you have already solved.
• Tap a far number in the same row to slide several tiles at once and save time.
