Similar names are used for different sized variants of the 15 puzzle, such as the 8 puzzle, which has 8 tiles in a 3×3 frame. The n puzzle is a classical problem for modeling algorithms involving heuristics.
An edge-matching puzzle is a type of tiling puzzle involving tiling an area with (typically regular) polygons whose edges are distinguished with colours or patterns, in such a way that the edges of adjacent tiles match.

Clue Puzzle 1 is a 36-piece square (6 × 6) puzzle and Clue Puzzle 2 is a 72-piece rectangular (12 × 6) puzzle.

The official game trailer, depicting standard sliding tile gameplay. The player slides numbered tiles on a four-by-four grid [2] to combine addends and multiples of three. [3] For example, ones and twos merge to become a single "three" tile, two threes merge into "six", and two sixes merge into "12".
