The game

Every piece wants its own hole. One swipe moves all of them.

Snug is a pocket puzzle for iPhone. Tilt the tray and every loose piece slides until it meets the rim, a rock or another piece. A piece that crosses its own hole drops in and stays, and from then on the others bump into it, so the order is the puzzle.

One swipe moves everyone.

A cast of materials.

Glass, rubber, lacquer, stone. One material each, and the material is the personality.

The four characters on a paper-white tray: a cobalt glass disc, a vermilion rubber cube, a marigold lacquer wedge and a black basalt stone, asleep

Oli, a cobalt glass disc, in its own tray of one

Bix, a vermilion rubber cube, in its own tray of one

Pik, a marigold lacquer wedge, in its own tray of one

Nap, a basalt stone with closed eyes, in an empty tray of one

The set, made.

Chapters four to six each add one made thing: felt that stops whoever slides onto it, a gate with a brass button, a bigger tray. Each was tried a few ways in the app's own scene, and one was kept.

Twenty-four trays in three rows: eight on cork with felt swatches, eight on beech with gates and buttons, and eight bigger trays in terrazzo, each with its name and par

01

Every par, proven.

Par is the fewest moves a tray can be solved in. A computer proves it by searching every position the tray can reach, before the tray ships.

02

Three new trays a day.

Generated a year ahead, none repeated, every one proven the same way, with a card to send a friend.

Three Snug share cards: today's tray solved at par with the crown, Moss on cork in twelve moves, and Doorbell on beech in six, each with its moves, par and a barcode of the solve
