Find the fewest swaps needed to solve the board.
What is MadSwaps?
MadSwaps is a free daily tile-swapping puzzle. Each day presents a new board where tiles need to be moved onto their matching spots. The goal is to solve the puzzle in as few swaps as possible.
Editor takes
A daily tile-swap that’s just right for stealing five minutes with your coffee, and the endless mode means you can keep going when the commute drags.
The fewest-swaps goal gives the puzzle real mechanical teeth, but whether it stays fair hinges on how often the board offers multiple equally efficient paths.
How to play MadSwaps
The board shows tiles placed in a grid, each with a designated matching spot. You solve the puzzle by swapping pairs of tiles until every tile is on its correct spot. The challenge is to complete the board using the fewest swaps you can.
Tips & strategy
- Scan the whole board first to identify which tiles are already in the correct spot.
- Look for swaps that place two tiles correctly at once.
- Work toward building direct two-tile exchanges instead of moving tiles around randomly.
- Keep track of tiles that are one swap away from their matching spot.
- Before swapping, consider whether a move creates a chain that helps or delays the solution.
