4.3Solve the puzzle by arranging the blocks in the pattern shown. Click and drag a block to move it into place. If a piece doesn’t fit in, click on it to rotate the position until it fits somewhere on the board. Fill all the empty spaces as quickly as you can to get all three stars and set a new high score. The amount of puzzles in each level changes as you move on. Some levels may have two or more different puzzles to solve, while others only have one. Keep a close eye on how many moves you make in the levels with multiple puzzles. Your move count doesn’t reset until you complete all the challenges in the level. If you make too many moves, you’ll lose your stars.
A typical puzzle session starts slow. You look at the board, work out what the rules actually are, and make a tentative first move. Then the pattern clicks and the next few stages go quickly, until one stops you cold. That rhythm, easy then stuck then easy again, is the whole appeal. Most sessions last ten to twenty minutes before you reach a natural stopping point.
