About the game

Stone tiles sit in a lantern-lit garden with one gap, and you slide them around until water can run from the spring to the harbor gate. Once the path is linked, the water flows and a paper boat sails the route you built.

Each level hides three lanterns along the way. There is also a shortcut that gets the boat home fast but leaves them dark, so look over the whole board before you commit. A hundred boards are spread over five gardens, starting at Moss Steps and ending at Moon Harbor, and a fresh daily canal shows up to keep your streak going.

How to play

• Drag a stone toward the gap, or flick it a short way. Tapping a stone beside the gap slides it in, and tapping the gap moves its only movable neighbor.
• On a keyboard, use the arrow keys or W A S D. The stone lying opposite the gap moves toward it, the way a classic sliding puzzle works.
• Press Z or Backspace to undo, R to restart, H for a hint, and M to mute.
• Skip appears in the toolbar after 90 seconds or 2 restarts. On the results screen, Enter or Space moves you on to the following board.
