Slide puzzle game: free, with no download needed
Butterslip is a free slide puzzle game with a very silly idea behind it: you’re a pat of butter on a diner griddle, and breakfast is not going to butter itself.
How to play
Push in a direction and you slide until you hit something. You don’t stop where you want to. You stop where the griddle lets you. Butter every pancake on the plate and the order is served.
- Arrow keys or swipe to slide
- You keep going until something blocks you
- Butter every pancake to finish the order
- Do it in as few moves as you can
That one rule — no stopping halfway — turns a simple grid into a proper head-scratcher. Working out the order of your moves is the whole game.
Every order can be finished
No order in Butterslip is impossible. The game solves each one before it hands it to you, and it knows exactly how few moves it takes — so when it says four moves, four moves genuinely exist.
That matters in a puzzle. Nothing ruins one faster than wondering whether it’s broken.
A fresh order every day
There’s one daily order that everybody gets, plus endless new ones whenever you want another. Beat the target and you found the tidy answer rather than the long way round.
Is it free?
Completely. Nothing to buy, no account, no chat, and it works on a phone — which is where this sliding puzzle online is at its best.
