Free the target car through three timed traffic puzzles
Traffic Jam is a sliding vehicle puzzle on a 6×6 grid. Each car and truck moves only along its own lane. Clear a path and slide the target car out through the exit on the right.
You play three stages back to back, Easy, Medium, and Hard, scored on total time. The game mainly tests logical reasoning.
Tap a vehicle and drag to slide it along its lane. Vehicles cannot turn, jump, or pass through each other.
A stage ends when the target car's row is clear to the right border, and the car exits on its own. The timer runs the whole way, including between stages.
Scoring: faster total time scores higher. Moves do not cost points directly, but wasted moves cost time.

Test environment for Traffic Jam.
Work backwards from the exit. Find what blocks the target car, then what blocks that. The dependency chain almost always reveals the solving order.
Solve only the critical path. Usually three to five vehicles matter and the rest are noise. Moving extras wastes time and creates new blockers.
Park long trucks deliberately. A three-tile truck needs three clear cells to move, which is rare. Spot its one valid parking spot before you start sliding.
Plan the full sequence first. A second of mental simulation beats undoing a wrong first move, since time is the only score.
Start the next stage instantly.The timer never stops, so begin reading the new board's blocking chain the moment it loads.
Re-read when stuck. If moves stop helping, trace the blocking chain again from scratch. Your first read just missed a dependency.
