Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- 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.
