Tips and tricks

  • Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
  • If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
  • Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
  • Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
