Sliding puzzles are composed of several tiles which lay in a defined geometric shape
and which are only moved by sliding. The objective is to rearrange the tiles
or to move one or several tiles to a specific position. Normally you only slide one tile at a moment.
Most sliding puzzles are plain, but this is not a necessity.
The geometric shape itself as well as the geometric shape and its tiles can be three-dimensional.
The geometric shape of the puzzle can be for example cylindric, spheric or cubic.
Up and down,
Left and right
Almost done,
Never right.
Sliding Puzzles with square tiles
a.) With square geometric
The most famous sliding puzzle is the 15 Puzzle. The puzzle was invented by Noys Palmer Chapman in 1880.
The idea is to slide the stones to order them from 1 to 15 starting by any initial random order.
In 1880 the puzzle became very popular in the USA and in many countries of the world.
Puzzle poems are very rare. But there are many poems about the 15 puzzle. Here are several examples:
One More Unfortunate.
She couldn't get the puzzle solved,
For lack of time-a minute,
And if you would avoid her fate,
Why, never you begin it.
Evening Gazette; Jervis Post, NY, March 11, 1880
Push, Brothers, Push
Push, brothers, push with care,
Push the 14 to the 15 square;
The 6 to the 7, and you've got it there;
The 10 to the 9, or you don't care where,
But the 15 and the 14 they will stick there.
Push, brothers, push with care
Till your minds are all a jumble and you tear your hair.
World; Utica Morning Herald, March 2, 1880.
The Gem Puzzle.
Full many a gem-the puzzle you have seen-
The dark, unfathomed caves of lying bare;
Full many a sorely puzzled wight, I ween,
Will lose his patience and will loudly swear.
But who, unto dumb foolishness a prey,
This pleasing, anxious puzzle e'er resigned
When he would lie, "I did it'other day,
But how, I cannot now quite bring to mind?"
Nor you, ye proud, impute to these the fault
If never any one believe their tales:
You know full well they'd scarcely earn their salt
By puzzling o'er it till their reason fails.
No further seek their lying to upbraid.
Or ask them how they did the blasted thing;
The puzzle 't is that liars them has made,
The wicked swear-words to their lips does bring.
Boston Transcript, February 12, 1880.

e.) Combined with mazes
Most maze sliding puzzles have a ball and sliding tiles in a closed box. They have also two markers for the start and the end position.
The goal is to maneuver the ball from the start to the end position with use of the sliding tiles.
Very often, this puzzle type is also a dexterity puzzle. The ball can easily fall down from a sliding tile and you have to start from the beginning.

h.) frame can also be slided
This kind of sliding puzzle allows the frame also to be slided.
The goal is to move the frame from one side of the board to the other side.
In order to achieve this, pieces have to be slided appropriately.
The difficulty thereby is that the movement of the pieces is constrained.
This is either realised by the immobilisation of some stones or
by the presence of some pins on the board so that certain pieces can only be slided to certain positions.

One of Delsings best puzzles.
One tile in the middle can only move up and down.
If you do not use the two middle tiles,
you can only move the other tiles in a circle.
If you use the middle tiles, one tile will get out of the center
and another tile from the opposite has to move to the center.

b.) Serhiy Grabarchuk
Grabarchuk is apart from Minoru Abe one of the most important shifting puzzles designers.
He has already designed more than 120 different sliding puzzles (partly together with his children)
with big differences in their functionality. Various elements such as material, frames, cubes or the board
show their advantage in his sliding designs. The sliding pieces in many of his sliding puzzles
differ from many other designers.
Thus, he likes to use pieces which consist of two layers.
His most popular shifting designs are: Slant Slide, The Super Fan Puzzle, Sliding Stones,
Two Sliding Squares and The 9 Puzzle
Letter Puzzles
These sliding puzzles have the sliding pieces cut out as letters or numbers.
The aim is to exchange two letters or numbers.
These puzzles consist most often of 8 pieces and give the impression to lie on 3 x 3 fields.
But the 8 sliding pieces lie on 9 x 9 fields. The letters can exchange their places by interlocking into each other.
 |
The picture illustrates the interlocking of the sliding pieces
when solving the problem. |
