시안의 조각방 guide

Slide numbered tiles into the gap until they read 1, 2, 3… in order, in Sian the woodcarver's riverside studio. Every board is made by scrambling a solved board with real moves, so it can always be solved. There are four sizes from 3×3 to 6×6, and turning on picture tiles swaps the numbers for pieces of a picture.

How to play

  1. Choose a board size on the start screen. Only the eight-tile 3×3 board is open at first.
  2. Tap any tile in the same row or column as the gap and every tile between it and the gap slides at once. Tiles that can move are outlined.
  3. Arrow keys or WASD on a keyboard, or the gamepad D-pad, push the tile next to the gap one step in that direction. For example, ← moves the tile to the right of the gap leftward.
  4. Fill from the top left in order and finish with the gap in the bottom right. Tiles sitting in their home cell change colour.
  5. Solving a board unlocks the next size. The Picture tiles button below the board switches picture mode on or off, and the choice is remembered next time.

Strategy tips

  • Sliding several tiles along a line at once still counts as a single move. Tapping a tile far from the gap can cut your move count sharply.
  • Finish the top row first, then the left column. What remains is a smaller puzzle you can solve the same way.
  • Placing the last two tiles of a row one by one disturbs the ones already set. Line the two up side by side first, then slide them in together.
  • Three stars need no more moves than were used to scramble the board, two stars up to twice that. The three-star marks are 40 moves on 3×3, 140 on 4×4, 260 on 5×5 and 420 on 6×6.
  • Picture tiles keep a small number in the corner. Use it for look-alike areas such as sky or floor.

Common questions

Can I get a board that cannot be solved?

No. Every board is scrambled from a solved state using only legal moves, and saved boards are checked for solvability again when loaded.

How is the score worked out?

A solve starts at 1,000 points and loses 5 for every move beyond half the scramble length, never dropping below 100. On 3×3 you keep the full 1,000 up to 20 moves.

Does picture mode change the score?

No. Scores and star thresholds are the same as with numbers. When you finish, the gap fills in too and the whole picture appears.

What happens if I leave mid-puzzle?

The board is saved after every slide. When you return, the same layout and move count reopen in a paused state.
