The Jersey Devil Image scramble

Why We Picked The Jersey Devil Image scramble

The Jersey Devil Image scramble sits at the quieter end of this shelf: no timer, no lives, just sliding tiles into the gap until the board is complete. Most puzzles here reward a first pass that maps the board; the second pass is where mistakes get made. It rewards the second look far more than the first instinct. It sits at 135 of 172 on the puzzle shelf, and the games above it are mostly bigger, not better. For reference: 5.0 out of 5 from 9 ratings.

How to Play

What you actually do, in order:

• Slide a tile into the empty square; only the tile next to the gap can move.
• Clear whatever the level asks you to clear, and count the space that the clear gives back.
• Look for the clear that sets up a second clear, not the biggest one available.

Editor’s Note

Tutorials are rare on this shelf, which is either the point or the problem depending on why you came. There is no hint economy and no currency; the only resource is the space you have not used.
