Daily Number Puzzle (FreePuzzles)
Slide the day's scrambled tiles back into order from 1 to 15.
Every day: One dated 15-puzzle a day: the same scrambled 4x4 board of sliding tiles for every player, solved against a timer and a move counter. New puzzle: Daily, with the date shown on the page.
Daily Number Puzzle on FreePuzzles.net is a free daily version of the classic 15-puzzle. Everyone gets the same scrambled 4x4 board of tiles numbered 1 to 15 and one empty space, and slides them back into order; the game counts your moves and time so you can compare with friends.
About Daily Number Puzzle (FreePuzzles)
The 15-puzzle is one of the oldest sliding puzzles: fifteen numbered tiles in a four by four frame with one gap. Only a tile next to the gap can move, sliding into it and leaving a new gap behind. The goal is to put the tiles in order from 1 to 15, reading left to right and top to bottom, with the empty space in the bottom right corner.
FreePuzzles.net, a free puzzle site from FlameAI Studio, gives it a daily start. The board is headed with the day's date, and every player that day gets the same scramble, so the moves and time counted above the board can be compared fairly. You click a tile beside the gap to slide it.
It needs no account and plays in any browser. The site's Daily section has a sudoku, a word search, 2048 and a Connections-style word grouping puzzle as well, each one a day.
How to play Daily Number Puzzle (FreePuzzles)
- Open Daily Number Puzzle and look at the day's scrambled board.
- Click a tile next to the empty space to slide it in.
- Put the tiles in order from 1 to 15, row by row.
- Finish with the empty space in the bottom right corner.

Tips
- Solve the top row first, then the second, and leave the last two rows to solve together.
- Place the last two tiles of a row as a pair: bring them in side by side and rotate them into place.
- Do not undo a solved row to fix a later one unless there is no other way; it costs many moves.
