- Begin by examining the image below whose reconstruction will be the objective of the puzzle.
- Press the Scramble button in order to mix up the tiles randomly.

Then, after single-clicking on any second tile, the two tiles will swap their positions. If you need some help, you can click on the Show/Hide Hint button to display the original image. Moreover, the Show/Hide Errors button will indicate the misplaced tiles.
- When all the tiles are back in their original locations, you will be notified.
- Finally, if you press the I Give Up! button, the misplaced tiles will be relocated to their correct position.
