Dizzy Squares: free puzzle app game for iphone, ipad
Dizzy Squares is a very simple puzzle. Rotate any 3x3 square grid to match the pattern on the bottom.
There are 10 levels and I'm stuck on level 6. And they only get harder!
I'm wondering: can any permutation of random colored tiles be solved?
Any permutation of random coloured tiles can NOT be solved. To see this, colour the board like a chessboard. For any move you will notice that black tiles stay on black tiles and white tiles stay on white tiles. So, if your start-configuration has, say 3, blue tiles on black positions, it would be impossible to solve it if your target has not.
