Quackoria Play
Pond Puzzle
The pond has been cut into tiles and shuffled. Slide them back into place — three by three to warm up, four by four when you want a real one.

Pond Puzzle is the quiet corner of Quackoria Play. No timer, no lives, nothing chasing you — just a picture of a duck on a pond, cut up and handed to you in the wrong order. The picture is drawn by the game itself, so it loads instantly.
How to Play
- One space on the board is empty.
- Click or tap any tile next to the empty space to slide it in.
- Keep sliding until the picture of the pond is whole again.
- Fewer moves means a better score. There is no timer.
- Switch between 3 x 3 and 4 x 4 at the top of the board.

Gameplay tips
- Finish the top row first, then the left column, then solve what is left.
- Never break a row you have already finished to save one move.
- On 4 x 4, solve the top two rows completely before touching the bottom half.
- If you are stuck, shuffle. A fresh board is not a defeat.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The board is shuffled by making legal moves from a solved state, so it can always be solved.
What is the score based on?
How much of the picture is in place, and on finishing — the fewer moves you take, the higher the finish score.
Is there a timer?
No. Take as long as you like.
Which size should I start with?
3 x 3 to learn the method, 4 x 4 once the method is automatic.
