What is Pivots?

Pivots is a small puzzle game built around six numbered tiles that are shuffled out of order. The goal is to restore the 1–6 sequence by rotating groups of four numbers at a time. It includes daily challenges, training modes, and a dedicated section for speedrunners.

How to play Pivots

Each puzzle starts with the numbers 1 through 6 shuffled in a line. On each turn, you pivot a set of four numbers at a time, rotating their positions before trying the next group. Keep doing this until the full sequence is back in order.

Tips & strategy

  • Start by anchoring one end of the sequence: avoid moving numbers that are already in their correct spots.
  • Look at the order of the four numbers before you pivot, and imagine how they will rotate; this helps predict the result.
  • Use the training mode to practice pivoting combinations before taking on daily challenges.
  • Work backwards from the solved state if you're stuck; trace which pivot would place the next number correctly.
  • For speedrunning, focus on minimizing unnecessary pivots and plan several moves ahead.
