How to play

Finish Rectslider when every cell, edge, region, and fixed clue satisfies the clue distance rectangle movement completion test. Completion is checked from the entire position, not from a displayed answer or a visual approximation.

  • Read the opening of Rectslider by locating every lane, clue, reserve, room, or fixed element named in its rule. Slide each clue along a straight route by its stated distance, without route overlap, so all destination cells together fill one rectangle. The seeded deal and rules version reproduce that public starting information without exposing a hidden completion.
  • Check each proposed action against the current position and this boundary: Slide each clue along a straight route by its stated distance, without route overlap, so all destination cells together fill one rectangle. Illegal, stale, and post-finish actions are rejected without changing the board.
  • Finish Rectslider when every cell, edge, region, and fixed clue satisfies the clue distance rectangle movement completion test. Completion is checked from the entire position, not from a displayed answer or a visual approximation.

Strategy tips

  • List the straight destinations at each clue distance, then choose a compatible set whose endpoints can form one rectangle without route overlap.
  • Selecting endpoints that outline a rectangle but leave a hole or crossed slide path satisfies the silhouette while violating destination coverage.
  • During the final few decisions, compare every unresolved obligation with the target: every cell, edge, region, and fixed clue satisfies the clue distance rectangle movement completion test. Keep the option described in the strategy note available until the last forced dependency is settled.

Complete guide

Rules, scoring, and strategy

Rectslider uses the independently implemented Rectslider clue distance rectangle movement rules v1 profile (R668). Rectslider is defined by one exact interaction: Slide each clue along a straight route by its stated distance, without route overlap, so all destination cells together fill one rectangle.

Setup and opening position

Read the opening of Rectslider by locating every lane, clue, reserve, room, or fixed element named in its rule. Slide each clue along a straight route by its stated distance, without route overlap, so all destination cells together fill one rectangle. The seeded deal and rules version reproduce that public starting information without exposing a hidden completion.

Legal moves and game flow

Check each proposed action against the current position and this boundary: Slide each clue along a straight route by its stated distance, without route overlap, so all destination cells together fill one rectangle. Illegal, stale, and post-finish actions are rejected without changing the board.

Winning and terminal positions

Finish Rectslider when every cell, edge, region, and fixed clue satisfies the clue distance rectangle movement completion test. Completion is checked from the entire position, not from a displayed answer or a visual approximation. During the final few decisions, compare every unresolved obligation with the target: every cell, edge, region, and fixed clue satisfies the clue distance rectangle movement completion test. Keep the option described in the strategy note available until the last forced dependency is settled.

Practical strategy

List the straight destinations at each clue distance, then choose a compatible set whose endpoints can form one rectangle without route overlap. Selecting endpoints that outline a rectangle but leave a hole or crossed slide path satisfies the silhouette while violating destination coverage.

Questions players ask

How should players account for slide endpoints forming one rectangle in Rectslider?

List the straight destinations at each clue distance, then choose a compatible set whose endpoints can form one rectangle without route overlap. This matters specifically because slide each clue along a straight route by its stated distance, without route overlap, so all destination cells together fill one rectangle.

Which error should be checked first in Rectslider?

Selecting endpoints that outline a rectangle but leave a hole or crossed slide path satisfies the silhouette while violating destination coverage. Recheck the legal boundary before choosing a replacement move.

What proves that Rectslider is finished?

Rectslider is complete once every cell, edge, region, and fixed clue satisfies the clue distance rectangle movement completion test. The terminal check examines every relevant pile, cell, edge, room, and clue before awarding the result. Undo and redo expose alternative branches without revealing an authored answer.
