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.)
Is the thing I've overlooked that there are two As?
It'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 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 ;)

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

I'm pretty keen to play with Elm, but it gives me some pause that an app like this (or the demo at https://github.com/evancz/start-app ) results in... 11k lines of Javascript. Nevertheless, these talks got me bulled up on Elm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV0DXNB94NE (Richard Feldman, collegially, on React -> Elm) / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYk8CKH7OhE (Evan Czaplicki on the motivation for Elm)
However, that will change in a future release of Elm, once Joey Eremondi's work has been fully integrated. My understanding is that integration is not slated for the 0.16 release (imminent) but will likely be part of the 0.17 release.

That's because the Elm compiler doesn't yet do much in the way of "dead code elimination" (DCE).

Are they planning to leverage the Google Closure compiler the way Clojurescript does? Un-optimized Clojurescript is also huge until it runs through Closure compilation.

I'm so fascinated by Elm. What a great addition to the world of JS tooling. I wish had more time to spend on it, but the Haskell syntax, the strict typing, the Haskell compiler, and reactive JS model, the emphasis on graphic UI building as a native language feature, all just really great and relevant ideas.

Also, some of the ideas from Elm are having an influence in the PureScript ecosystem.
