Knife thrower Memory Match

Why We Picked Knife thrower Memory Match

There is one decision in Knife thrower Memory Match, repeated: sliding tiles into the gap, and where that leaves the space you still have. A small game with a strict rule and no interest in flattering you. It is sliding tiles into the gap at heart, and the difficulty comes from the size of the space rather than from speed. The shelf keeps it for the same reason players do: it is short, solvable, and never as easy as it looks. For reference: 90 of 172 on the puzzle shelf, 4.3 out of 5 from 66 ratings, and 2,483 plays.

How to Play

Three things decide whether a run here goes well:

• Only the tile next to the empty square moves, so the gap is the cursor.
• The board starts solvable and ends solved, and the middle part is your planning.
• Symmetry looks tidy and usually costs you a corner.

Editor’s Note

It asks for attention rather than speed, which makes it a poor fit for a second monitor. There is no hint economy and no currency; the only resource is the space you have not used.
