The green Christmas-tree is
depicted on the surface of nine square pieces. Also
there are four fragments of another, blue
Christmas-tree. Every piece can slide to an adjacent
free space. To move pieces simply click them.
Your holiday challenge is to assemble the whole, blue
Christmas-tree which will look exactly like the green
one, except of its color and orientation.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Christmas Slide puzzle uses the same 3x4 grid (with
nine 1x1 blocks in a 3x3 pattern, and a 1x2 "shuttle"
block) which was used in the sliding block puzzles by
Serhiy Grabarchuk shown below. Also, a
similar "shuttle" piece was used in
Card Suits Suite - 2 by Serhiy Grabarchuk. Using of
this "shuttle" piece which can move just by only one
cell back and forth
makes these puzzles especially
tricky.
It is a basic puzzle for this type
of sliding block puzzles in a 3x4 tray with nine square
blocks which make a 3x3 pattern, and a 1x2 "shuttle"
block. The goal is to restore the correct order of the
numbers on the square blocks...

In this puzzle its 3x4 tray is

One more variation in a 3x4 tray
with a "shuttle" block. Besides the "shuttle" block the
puzzle has nine blocks: eight identically shaped blocks
with one corner cut in two colors, and one central 1x1
block. The object is to reverse the whole fan. This
puzzle has two different challenges -- easy and hard.
