Junkyard (Mind Loft)

Junkyard is the biggest lot in Mind Loft's sliding-block family: eight by eight, with close to thirty blocks that each slide on one axis only and a red block that has to reach the gap in the wall. Tap a block, tap where you want it, and it goes if the lane is clear. Parker is the same puzzle on a six by six lot and Impound on a seven by seven, so the three form a ladder of sizes.

Every board is generated and then solved exactly by a breadth-first search over every reachable position, so perfect really is the fewest moves that exist. Par sits a little above perfect and is the number a clean solve lands on. There is no undo, only a restart.

Boards climb through the week, from the low twenties of moves on Monday to the low forties by Saturday, and the Sunday Edition runs longer still. Even Monday's Junkyard runs deeper than any Parker board except a Sunday. A new board appears every day at midnight Eastern. On 18 October 2026 the Sunday Edition had a par of 56 and a perfect score of 44 moves. A bar above the board tracks your moves against perfect and par, a Hint button helps when you are stuck, and every past board waits in the archive.
