NOVA SCOTIA. puzzle instructions.

This is how the blocks are arranged at the start of the game:

Your goal is to re-arrange them to look like this:

If you click on the block with the blue dot (or period) it will move up into the empty space:

If, instead, you click on the block with "Halifax" on it, it will move to the right into the empty space:

If, instead, you click on the blue "N", All of the blocks, "N", "O", "V", "A", and "Halifax will move to the right towards the empty space:

Other blocks can be moved in a similar fashion as long as they are in the same row or column as the empty space. (Obviously, the two large pieces can only be moved left or right.)

Each click counts as one move, even if you move more than one block.

The puzzle can be solved in 34 moves.

Click on "Start New Game" if you won and the game is over or if you give up and want to try again from the start.

Good luck!
