CalmoSoft Sixteen Puzzle Game

CalmoSoft Sixteen Puzzle Game is a classic 16-puzzle. Sixteen is visually similar to Fifteen but with a different type of move. This time, there is no hole: all 16 squares on the grid contain numbered squares. Your goal is to shift an entire row left or right, or shift an entire column up or down; every time you do that, the tile you shift off the grid re-appears at the other end of the same row, in the space you just vacated. To win, arrange the tiles into numerical order (1, 2, 3, 4 on the top row, 13, 14, 15, 16 on the bottom).
