- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- Because this is a Escape game, click everything once, then think — escape games reward a full inventory of clues.
