I also made a puzzle game in a similar vein slidecross.io

Check out my github https://github.com/matttt. I also made a puzzle called https://slidecross.io

I may contribute to your project if I see something that could be improved!

What you want to do is find what I call a "donor letter".

Say you have:

BOAR UPTO MUTT PSSA

Where you want to swap the last SA to make PSAS.

What you'll want to do here is find a 'donor letter' of either S or A. In this case we have the A of BOAR. You'll put the BOAR's A in the place you want the A in PSAS, in this case the third slot. Then put the S that is now floating down into the last slot of PSAS.

I understand that this is probably a bit headache inducing to read, so I recorded a clip! https://youtube.com/shorts/SqGgcPXevE4

Thank you for playing by the way!

I’ve just added some new 3x3s and a 9x9, all at the top of their respective sections. Thanks for playing!

Here’s a video of me solving a 5x5. There’s also the question mark button in the top right of the game which has some more info!

Glad that you allow a couple reposts. This is a good example of that policy doing some good! My prior post didn’t get any traction so I’m glad to get some eyes on it this time around.
