Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

See the idea in action

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.

A useful caution

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
