Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
- 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.
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Because this is a Kids game, younger children do better with a mouse or touch screen than with keyboard combinations.
