- Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
- 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.
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
