The Sliding Square

Eight tiles have fallen out of order. Restore a little harmony to the page.

Today’s puzzle

Setting the puzzle…

A word of instruction

Arrange the numbers from 1 to 8, reading left to right, with the empty space at the bottom right.
Only a tile touching the empty square may move. Tap it to slide it into the gap.
With the board focused, arrow keys move the empty square in that direction.
Every starting arrangement is solvable. Undo a move or start over at any time.
