Terrazzo

A sliding tile puzzle for adults. One picture, cut into a grid with a single square missing — slide the tiles into the gap until the image is whole again. Fully offline, with no account, no advertising, and nothing collected about you.

The name is what the board looks like halfway through: flat chips of colour set beside each other, not quite forming a picture yet. Terrazzo is the fifth game from Get Puzzled, and it is the one with the shortest rulebook — tiles slide within their lane, and that is the whole verb.

Why the art is drawn for the mechanic

A sliding puzzle asks a question a jigsaw never does: looking at this one tile on its own, where did it come from? A dense, beautifully painted landscape fails that question badly. Cut into twenty-five squares it becomes twenty-five squares of leaf and bark, and a player genuinely cannot tell which belongs where — so the puzzle stops being a puzzle and becomes a shuffle.

So Terrazzo's pictures are drawn to be taken apart. Bold graphic posters in an art deco and mid-century register: one subject filling the frame, four or five flat colours, a clear top and bottom, and edges that reach into every corner of the picture rather than leaving broad empty ground. Each plate is checked by cutting it into a shuffled five-by-five sheet and counting the tiles that carry no boundary at all. Tiles with no edge in them cannot be placed, and a picture with too many of them does not ship.

How it plays

Three grid sizes. 3×3 to learn the shape of it, 4×4 for the real game, 5×5 when you want an evening rather than a coffee break.
A collection of authored levels. Every board is fixed — the same puzzle for everyone who plays it — rather than reshuffled per player. That is what makes a move target worth having.
The move target comes from a solver, not a guess. Each level is solved by the app's own solver during authoring, and the target and star thresholds are derived from what it actually took. A level's difficulty is measured, not asserted.
Hints are free and unlimited. Every hint, every time, at no cost, with no video to sit through first. What a hint costs you is the solve, which is the right price.
Free play is open from the start. Any picture, any grid, any difficulty, unlimited undo, no target and no stars. Some of the hardest 3×3 boards in the app are reachable here and nowhere else.
Your own photographs. Slide a picture out of your camera roll. It is cropped square and copied into the app so a board still opens if you later delete the original, and it never leaves your device.
Assists that are simply on offer. Numbers on the tiles, the finished picture faint behind the board, and a highlight on the tiles already home — free, because none of them is worth charging for and each is an accessibility feature as much as an assist.

What Terrazzo does not do

No advertising, of any kind. Not banners, not between levels, and not in exchange for a hint. There is no advertising library in the app at all.
Nothing collected. No analytics, no crash reporting, no account, no profile. See the Privacy Policy.
No connection required to play. Every picture ships inside the app. It works identically in a tunnel.
No photo permission request. Importing a picture goes through the system photo picker, which hands the app exactly the one image you chose and nothing else.
No subscription, no currency, no timers, no lives. Every board size has free levels, including the largest. One optional purchase unlocks the rest of the collection, permanently.

Accessibility

Text scales with your system settings, controls are sized to be hit reliably, colour is never the only thing distinguishing one state from another, and the board is tested with screen readers. A grid of image tiles is a demanding case for this, which is exactly why it is treated as correctness rather than as a backlog ticket — the tile numbers exist partly for that reason. If something is hard to read, hard to hit, or does not work with your assistive technology, that is a defect. Tell us and we will fix it.
