Play Mosaic

About

Mosaic is a packing puzzle game where you rotate, flip, and place shaped pieces to fit them into the board. It is based on the Kanoodle puzzle.

How to play

• Drag a piece from your inventory onto the board.
• Tap a piece in the inventory to rotate it.
• Long-press or right-click a piece to flip it.
• Drag a placed piece to move it, or tap it to return it to your inventory.
• Pieces cannot overlap or hang off the board.
• The board is solved when every inventory piece has been placed.

Tips

• Start with the largest pieces. They have fewer possible placements, so placing them early reduces trial-and-error.
• Play on corners and edges first. Pieces that cleanly fit against the border are easier to lock in than pieces floating in the middle.
• Rotate and flip pieces mentally before moving them. A piece that looks wrong may fit after being flipped, not just rotated.
• Don't commit too early. Backtrack before the board gets too crowded.
