I was nervous for some reason when i recorded this so i stutter quite a bit... I also miss some obvious moves as I made this as soon as I learned how to solve one myself! Hopefully it still helps some of you out anyway!
Thanks for watching!
Dude thank you so much. These puzzles are the bane of my existence in horror games lol which is exactly what I’m watching this for. I’ll usually try looking up the solution but that didn’t work this time since the numbered blocks always randomize for this one. Your guide here is the only thing I could find that helped. You’re doing whatever gods out theres work with this.
If anybody is curious about the game it’s Fatal Frame Mask of the lunar eclipse.
Thank you. This saved me like 5 hours trying to solve the puzzles in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
Literally the exact reason I’m here lmao
@@fool9711 also here for this and still cant get it LOL
Ahaha that's why I'm here too. I wanted to learn the logic vs just looking up the solution. This is so much more satisfying.
@@ZDiStefano You might've ended up just looking it up, but keep in mind the Wind Waker puzzles have their empty square in the TOP left rather than the bottom. So you'll want to follow this from bottom to top rather than top to bottom like the example in the video.
Haha when I was beginning I did to
Damn, solved one after watching this and I felt like Neo from the Matrix. "I know sliding puzzles"
Thank you! You saved my life, without you I wouldn't have been able to solve the Puzzle in "The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD" :D
Laytonzfan25 oh man I'm trying to do that right now and I still don't get it. its driving me crazy 😖

Thank you. One thing, though - an animated puzzle would make the movement of tiles easier to follow
oh my god it actually worked, when i looked at the comments i thought i would still fail after this tutorial but after this, even with no skill in these types of puzzles, i can actually do these puzzles
I was struggling with the bottom two rows until you said to do the corner square. That is so helpful. Thanks.
WOW! this was amazingly helpful...I had one of these when I was young and knew instinctively that there must be a method behind it. I just solved two in a row. Thank you.
this works perfect. I had one scrambled by my daughter before I saw the original picture.I just took a photo of the puzzle, split in MS paint and put together to actually see the picture. Then just numbered the squares with marker. Now I can do straight forward pictures 4x4 without marker.It's all about the algorithm rather than the number.
Thanks bro! Those sliding puzzles finally make sense in Wind Waker. I finally know how to do it after 10 years of not knowing.
Wow, I used to think it was impossible for me to finish one of these, I thought it was luck. After watching this I finished it in a few minutes. Start from top, left to right, down :D
But when it turn on impossible mode,
we all are dead men.
Thank you so much man! I struggled for super long to the point where I wanted to just break the thing so I looked it up and saw yours. After watching the video I managed to solve it in about 10 minutes. Thank you!
For Wind Waker HD
Thanks to these tips I finally solved all of those damn sliding puzzles in Wind Waker HD! You know what happens when you finish them all? Absolutely nothing. You get 200 rupees for the last one instead of 50, and then the puzzles reset. Very anticlimactic lol.
@@drewfla yeah just like the mail sorting game
Me too wtf
Wow, i feel smart right now. I watched the slide puzzle on survivor tv show, so i decided to try to solve one. Found one in google play, and within 15 minutes i came into my own method, witch alows me to solve in 1 minute the puzzle. So i decided to see on youtube if there was a better method than mine and it turns out you have the exact same method ;)
Cattyy BlueSky I love survivor
Over a minute!
best video of solving this puzzle! so many videos I watched before this one that were so unlogical and took way more time to solve
Thank you for this video! I just stuck in a game and I was always very bad with these puzzles, but with this help I have solved it.
That was nice and clear for me - thank you. I remember these puzzles from being a kid. Sadly, I either didn't have the brains or didn't have the patience, or maybe both. BUT NOW.... thanks to you - BRING IT! :-) BTW, I used to be able to easily solve a Rubix Cube in middle school - fast forward 40 years - not anymore. Based on how you taught the sliding puzzle, any chance of you doing a Rubix video?
Omg, thank you SO much for this. I watched a few other tutorial videos about this, and this was the best explanation.
I play a game called The Tomorrow Children, and you have to solve puzzles like this to create things that the town needs, like housing and such. And I can never figure out the freaking puzzles until now! I just used this method and now I'M UNSTOPPABLE!! So thanks 😀
Np thanks for the kind comment :)
didnt watch the whole thing but the initial tips really helped me out, so thanks!
Could you help me? I tried again again but result is always same
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 15
13 14 12 x
Thank you so much
I made my own python slider game for my computer science class, but I could not solve it at all. Now thanks to this video I was able to solve it.
Oh Yeah....Very Thanks....I Normally Takes 800 or more than 800 moves.....But after trying this , I get it in less than 200 moves.....It was HELPFUL
This helped me beat the later alligator game, thanks
my 12 and 14 are always switched, how do i fix this?
Thank you so much! I practiced this for a little bit and got 17 seconds on my 3rd try! (with a little luck of course)
Very nice tutorial do u still do videos on this kind of puzzles?
Hey Steve, I tried one of these and normally I have no trouble, but this time I ended up with 12 and 15 flip-flopped, and I can't figure out how to get those last 2 in the right places. Any suggestions?
double check to make sure all the others are in the right places. if they are then and its still messed up its an unsolvable puzzle
+Steven Burrell Ah ha! You were right. My puzzle was a picture of a toucan and 1 and 2 were almost identical and did not realize the were reversed. by the time I got those corrected and everything back in order, 12 and 15 were correct. I guess that's the trick with picture puzzles. Thx for the asst.
+Steven Burrell how to make sure that your code does not scramble it in such order which makes it unsolvable?
***** the way I did it I wrote some helper code to scramble the puzzle by obeying the way the puzzle works and moving squares around. You can't just put random numbers in random squares
¡Muchas gracias! es una muy buena lección. (Saludos desde Barcelona, Spain)
I didn’t hear any stutter. You were fine. Perfect. Thanks Steven where’s the web link please
I've added a link to the puzzle in the description. I had to re-build it. Thanks!
This helped me finally get that damned Welcome Park Trophy on the Vita, thanks! lol Started in like 2011 gave up finally decided to try it again.
God Damn, worked for a 5x5 too, thanks a lot man!!
Question, if you have a puzzle that’s in the right order and you take out the 14 and 15 and swap them, is it possible to solve it by sliding the numbers in the correct order?
No matter what I do I can’t get the last two in order. Doesn’t matter if it’s 14&15, 12&13, 10&11 it just doesn’t seem to work out.
Thanks!
thank you! I was struggling with RE4 sliding puzzle and pokemon unbound's slizing puzzle
Thanks for making this video! it really helped me a lot! :D Keep it up Steven!~
I tried it, but failed, maybe because I'm doing a picture slider
how about the last three number?
9 10 11 15
13 14 12
A good tutorial. Solved my puzle ✌️
I can reliably get under 40 seconds thanks bro
How do I get the 13 under the 9 and the 14 under the 10? I do mines up to down 123456789 just missing the 2 button rows. This is my first time playing.
Omg thanks I did it in 2 minutes
Thanks a ton for making this! It was super helpful!
This worked so well, thank you!
got it, worked perfectly
just tried this on a puzzle I got for my birthday 2 years ago turns out it was not a valid sovleable puzzle had to pop a piece out on the last step where you have an empty space 11, 12 and 15
But what if the last 3 don't solve automatically?!
Wow! It took me much less time to solve a slide puzzle, even though I didn't solve it under a minute. But that's ok. I don't expect it to be solved right away, anyway.
Thanks! It was very helpful.
When I go to your link it says this plugin is not supported! so now I can't play your game can you fix it some how?!
Good guide :)
So easy trick thank you so much
you are intelligent"! i love puzzle barbie to solved
Omg thank you so much! I ttied solving this nancy drew puzzle all night and all morning and this helped so much! #feelaccomplished #appreciateit
Thank you so much!
Me who solve it under 30 sec and happy about myself
it worked for me, thanks
good guide 👍
I solved everything except the last 3 (11, 15, 12) - no matter how I move them, they just won't solve themselves!
thx steve ur the MAN !!!! :D
Followed your guides, but I am stuck in this situation where 11 and 15 are both in row 3, and 12 is on row 4, can someone tell me how to solve a puzzle like this?
Like the following example
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 15
13 14 12
It's pretty much impossible to get into that situation
No matter how hard I tried to get into that I couldn't manage to do it.
I've recorded how to solve
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 15
12 14 13

@@maciejwicher6348 If you couldn't get into the situation that I described, then there's something wrong with the program. Note, I got into this situation on a programmed slider puzzle game I made myself.
Still don't get it, lol.
My 15 and 12 need to swap
omg your my hero!
Every video game developer that's ever put one of these damnable things in their game should be neutered.
I like to get 12 in the bottom right, 11 above it, 10 to the left of 11 and 9 to the left of 10. Then when I have 13 14 15 in place, I just slide the 9 10 and 11 to the left and push the 12 up, and BOOM.
this almost looks like my method and my best with my method 27 seconds :)
Thx mage
This was more then a minute!
thank's
Thanks !!!
thanks!
All this just to find out mine was unsolvable
I can't do it anyways.. but I don't have numbers on mine, I have a picture.

How to solve a 8x2 puzzle
ty
came from resident evil 4
Please share demo game slide puzzle for unity for me. I'm student. I'm work homework. Please help me. Tks you so much.
Ain't this called a 15 puzzle?
Has anyone played this game Slide Puzzle Camera?
Who’s here from windwaker 🤣🤣
I couldnt even solve one now i my pb is 32 seconds.
I came here to get the trophy from the welcome park on ps vita.. Anyone else?
thanks dude, I just got all the welcome park trophies. i needed to solve this 4x4 slide puzzle in under 50 sec to get the last trophy
lol
Ok so I'm in the middle of this puzzle and I got this
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
14 13 15
plz halp
+Mauricio Del Castillo Yeah, I don't think his method is perfect. I got into a few weird situations like this.
yee
oh thanks. i can immediately solve my puzzle after watching this vid :D
These need to have two blank spaces otherwise you don’t have full control of how you want to do it, and creative answers are more important than mathematical ines.
There is a hint of cleveland brown in your voice...
Junior or senior, lol
what the hell what a specific thing to notice
@@mosslizard damn 😂😂
Thanks so much!
God I love YT. I downloaded a picture slide puzzle app (gotta train for the one day I end up on Survivor and need to solve a slide puzzle) and I was like, “how the hell does anyone do this consistently??” And after 5 minutes on YT I can now solve ANY picture slide puzzle you hand me. The US education system could never.
The exact reason I found this video was so I don’t look like an idiot during immunity challenges! Glad I’m not alone in that 😂
Me too brother lol
You, sir, are a legend. Concisely explained, easy to learn, singularly useful. Win! :-)
This man has been helping gamers solve their quest puzzles for over a decade. He was the chosen one.
I did this 3 times but I just got worse and worse the more I thought about how I did it
Thanks for the help. Cleared all 16 4x4 slide puzzle in Wind Waker without too much trouble because of you.
Thanks for showing how easy it is. This has always been the hardest puzzle for me to solve. As I was doing it your way, I noticed that you can back the three over to the two spot and click the four up and for the bottom two rows you can bring up the 9 with the 13 following it. I call it the 9 train and 13 is the caboose! or the 13 train with the 9 as the caboose! Depending on which row the train is on decides which number is the Locomotive and which is the caboose!
I enjoy how enthusiastic you are about the word caboose
How to solbe it if 11 and 12 are in the wrong order?
niggitheking I took hours with this. After 2 days of trying/leaving it/coming back to it I decided it wasn’t a valid puzzle and switched the 11 and 12 tiles
I was struggling with one of these for over an hour, and after this video, I solved it in a minute. Thank you so much!
I wish some adventure game let's players would learn how to solve these because they always get stuck on these kinds of puzzles and a lot of adventure games have them.
this saved me a lot of headache in that later alligator sliding puzzle @.@
I've been doing them for fun in classes for a couple years, taught myself how to do them and my best time is just shy of 12 seconds
Hi Steve. Thanks for the great explanation. I am trying to code a 4x4 puzzle in VB. I have looked at your source code, but I don't understand java/javascript. How do you make sure that the puzzle is solvable? Many thanks, Doug.
There are multiple ways, but here's how I did it. I start with a solved puzzle (2d array), and then look at the empty square. I then pick a random adjacent square (one not outside the bounds of the puzzle) and swap it with the empty spot. I repeat that process ~2000 times to essentially shuffle the board backwards from solved. Since the puzzle started solved and all we are doing is making legal random moves, it will always be solvable in the end. The logic is all in the function SlidingPuzzle.prototype.shuffleTiles. The tricky part is making sure to check your array bounds so that the random adjacent tile is valid. If not, then you you just pick another. (Empty corners will have 2 valid swap tiles, edges have 3, and an empty middle will have all 4 N/S/E/W as possible swaps). You can tinker with your total swap number, but i found 2k to be more then enough to get a really mixed up one every time. Hope this helps!!
