How do I solve the Sergeant at Arms Slider Puzzle?

  • 1 of 6: There are probably many ways to solve this puzzle.  The object is to free a space at each corner so the recessed corner blocks can be pulled free.
  • 2 of 6: Begin with the top row.  Notice that two of the longer blocks can be moved to the very top which will give you room to release both top corner blocks.  If you do this right, you will be able to release the top two corners fairly quickly.
  • 3 of 6: Now concentrate on getting some of the smaller, more maneuverable blocks further down.
  • 4 of 6: Try to move the large vertical blocks out of the way.
  • 5 of 6: A repeat of the top row will also be possible for the bottom row.
