#3It's a nice interface. I'm glad arrow keys, the first thing I tried, work. But you're not going to trick me into looking for a sequence of moves that change the parity of the underlying permutation.

I just found this article on the solvability of these puzzles: https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~mdr/teaching/modules04/java2/Tile...

That code is so -erm- pretty.
And by popular accounts, Elm is a pleasure to develop with. I hope it catches on.

I wanted to win, so I just changed the goal to P,L,A,Y,T,H,I,S,G,A,M,E,W,O,N, which is solvable ;)

The game is solvable -- no tricks, just something you've overlooked.
(Hint: Someone who doesn't know about parity might try scrambling the puzzle randomly, then find that they can reach the goal state about half of the time.)

That was fun. My usual technique of making a "train" of letters to slide and then attach a caboose didn't work. So I flipped my phone upside down and acted like I wanted to make the word WON at the top. I did then did the rest of th puzzle, finding out the difference from a normal 15 puzzle along the way.

Is the thing I've overlooked that there are two As?

#10Very nice! More reasons to try Elm out.
