Start playing
- Choose Number Puzzle or Picture Puzzle.
- Select a difficulty and board size.
- Tap a tile beside the empty space, or swipe a row/column toward the empty space to move multiple tiles.
- Arrange the tiles in order with the empty space at bottom right.
The sound-effect toggle sits between New Game and Undo. Sound is off by default.
Picture Puzzle
Choose an image with Apple’s system photo picker. SlideSage does not need camera access. The image stays in the app’s private storage and is not uploaded by us.
When a Picture Puzzle is won, the replay board may need a short preparation step before its tiles and buttons appear.
“Loading game…” stays visible
The first 3D board after a cold launch can take several seconds while RealityKit prepares resources. The spinner confirms that work is continuing.
If it remains much longer than usual, return to the menu or force-quit and reopen the app. Include the board size, device model, iOS version, and approximate delay in a support email.
A tile will not move
Only tiles in the same row or column as the empty space can move. Tap a neighboring tile for one move, or swipe a legal row/column toward the empty space for a multi-tile slide.
During shuffling, replay, solution calculation, or another animation, input may be briefly disabled.
AI Coach and Solve Puzzle
AI Coach suggests a useful move in the current game. Solve Puzzle calculates a complete path for a 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 arrangement you enter. Larger or difficult positions can require more calculation time; keep the app open or cancel and retry.
Solution playback starts only after you tap Play.
Saved games and records
A resumable game appears as Back to Saved Game. Starting or completing a different game can replace the saved state. Personal Records and Daily Challenge progress are stored locally on this device.
Rewarded ad unavailable
Rewarded ads require a network connection, accepted privacy choices where applicable, and available ad inventory. A reward is issued only after the eligible ad finishes. If no ad loads, wait briefly and try again.
Free installations begin with limited AI Coach, Undo, and two Solution Playback credits. Completing the related rewarded ad refills the amount shown before the ad.
Premium and purchases
Premium removes ads and makes AI Coach, Undo, and Solution Playback unlimited. If plans do not load, check your connection and App Store availability, then retry. Use Restore Purchases after reinstalling or on another device signed into the same Apple Account.
Manage or cancel in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions. Deleting SlideSage does not cancel a subscription.
Privacy
Core puzzle data, selected photos, saved games, challenges, and records stay on the device. The free edition uses Google Mobile Ads; purchases are processed by Apple. Read the full policy for details and available choices.
