  • Number the tiles like this:

    1 2 3
    4 5 6
    7 8 9

    The blank space starts at the 3 space and ends up at 5. Move the tiles in this order, which I've broken into three lines to make it easier to follow:

    2 - 5 - 8 - 7 - 4
    5 - 6 - 9 - 8 - 5
    6 - 3 - 2 - 1 - 4 - 5

    When you get done, check to make sure all the switches along the edges line up with slots. If not, you made a mistake somewhere along the way. You can either try to correct it yourself -- or click on "Reset All" and start again.
