Solving Puzzles:

The following basic technique will help you solve any of the puzzle challenges given to you. The general idea is to start at the top and work your way to the bottom of the puzzle. You only need to learn the order of the pieces and get them in in that order. The first piece correctly placed must be Red 1 (as marked in the image above), then Red 2, and work your way to Pink 5. Getting each section in order is becomes more difficult as you work your way to the end. If you happen to mess around with the puzzle making it unsolvable, then log out and start again.

Yellow 12345

Basic Technique

If you can follow this technique successfully, the puzzle almost solves itself. If you are having some difficulties getting pieces in the correct order, then here are some tips to help you follow the technique laid out in the previous section.

There is no way you will get 4 and 5 in place unless you do them together, consecutively. You have Red 1, 2, 3 and 4 in position. Unless you have the black space available, where 5 is meant to go, you cannot get 5 in without moving 4. Therefore, you need to move them both in together. This may seem very obvious but is the hardest step of a puzzle, especially near the end. Here is an example.

Red Technique

Here are Blue 1 and 2. Once you get to this stage it is becoming easier to solve the puzzle. However again, the position shown is essential. Moving pieces around lots of times, often helps. Do not stick to moving only the pieces you need to place, move every unplaced piece.

Blue Technique

Sometimes it is worthwhile, to move pieces that you have already placed correctly according to the basic technique. Sometimes this is necessary, so that you can place the blue and pink section correctly. Do not let yourself get too far backward though. Just start by undoing one piece at a time to help you. You should only have to move a couple of pieces to give yourself room to maneuver. When working in the blue and pink areas, think of putting the pieces in the correct order by rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.
