A real run of the game, recorded with captions and no sound.
How to play
- Wagons arrive one at a time. Push the next wagon onto a siding, or send it straight out if it is the one needed.
- A siding works like a stack. Only the last wagon pushed in can leave, and only when it is the next number needed.
- Send all the wagons out in order, from 1 up, to solve the puzzle.
- Sidings hold only a few wagons. If a wagon is buried and no moves can help, the puzzle is stuck. Undo and Restart are always available.
Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.
Tips and strategy
- Never put a bigger number on top of a smaller one on the same siding if you can avoid it.
- Keep one siding for the numbers that arrive in order.
- Look at the arriving line before you push, not after.
- If a puzzle shows its shortest plan, aim to match it.
FAQ
- Which wagon leaves first?
- Wagon 1. The wagon that must leave next is shown at the top.
- What does stuck mean?
- No order of moves can finish the puzzle from here. Use Undo to go back.
- Is the daily the same for everyone?
- Yes, on the same UTC day.
