[Help Thread] 15 Puzzle Discussion

So I'm averaging sub 90 on it, using a virtual puzzle. My real life one is so bad. Should I get the qiyi one? And any tips to be sub 1?

Shoot, just got a 37.3!

Yes, you should.

I'm pretty mediocre at 15puzl (used to average 17 on slidysim) but generally you should know immediately which pieces go where (i.e. you should know 1,2,3,4 are the top row and 1,5,9,13 are the left column). Do a hundred solves and it should become second nature. Also, don't stare at the pieces you're solving; look at the pieces you need to solve next.

As far as virtual 15 puzzle goes, keyboard controls are probably easier to get fast at than mouse/touch controls.
 

This is online, though you just press the tile. So you won't need to scroll.

Hello :)

I got really charmed by the 15-Puzzle and I want to get really fast.

I didn't find any tutorial on how to improve your movecount and times, so does anyone of you know some resources?

Thanks for the help

use the fringe method,
1 2 3 4, 5 9 13, 6 7 8, 10 14, the rest is trivial ;)
