    deriving, by the one or more computer processors and from the initial state, two or more secondary states of the tiles by rearranging the tiles;

    calculating, by the one or more computer processors and based on an amount of overlap associated with the tiles, a score for the initial state and two or more scores for the two or more secondary states;

    determining, by the one or more computer processors, which score, of the score for the initial state and the two or more scores for the two or more secondary states, is a lowest score;

    determining, by the one or more computer processors, a selected state, from among the initial state and the two or more secondary states, that corresponds to the lowest score; and
