About Junkyard

Junkyard is a free daily sliding-block puzzle from Mind Loft, and it is the biggest lot in the family: eight by eight, with close to thirty blocks that each slide on one axis only, and a red block that has to reach the gap in the wall. Tap a block, tap where you want it, and it goes if the lane is clear. Parker is the same puzzle on a six by six lot and Impound on a seven by seven, so the three run as one ladder of sizes.

Every board is machine generated and then solved exactly, by breadth-first search over the whole reachable position, so perfect really is the fewest moves that exist rather than somebody’s guess. Par sits a cushion above perfect: it is the number a clean solve lands on, and it is beatable. Boards climb through the week, from the low twenties on Monday to the low forties by Saturday, and the Sunday Edition runs longer again. Every rung sits above the matching rung on Impound, and Monday alone already runs deeper than any Parker board short of a Sunday.

A new board drops every day at midnight Eastern. No app, no signup, play free in your browser, keep a streak, and race the daily leaderboard. More dailies: Check, our daily checkers shot, Four, our daily Connect Four position, and Mate, our daily chess endgame.
