I haven't even played this game, and I've still seen this enough to know to reset the clock

Honestly this is one of the puzzles I didn’t like. I had to look up the answer. Though I will admit I had it out for the orange Tetris puzzles ever since solving the series panels in the town thinking that was supposed to be their tutorial. I drew pages of combinations for these puzzles across the whole game and never was really good at them.

I haven't played this game and I don't know how these puzzles work and Reddit keeps serving me these threads.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's R U U L U U R R D D R U U R U

How'd I do?

u/Motor_Raspberry_2150 7d ago

Bad. You made a separate 2×1 area. Which is not forbidden per se, but this puzzle has a unique solution.

Reddit keeps serving you these because you like puzzle games? Then of course I highly suggest The Witness, and that you do not engage with the sub unless stuck, spoiler heavy. You must witness it yourself.

u/WillemJamesHuff 6d ago

I can't rotate them? Okay then it's gotta be U R D R U R R U U L U R U

2

u/Motor_Raspberry_2150 6d ago

Correct. That was the swampy boots pitfall you avoided.

The actual game has a dozen more mechanics. And you get to figure them out yourself without a tutorial explaining them.

Not count. Check the form.

u/No_Department1851 7d ago

How many time I spend trying this over and over not understanding why it wasn't working !

u/LogicalAnything3771 6d ago

Hello again!

u/Assequir 7d ago

I think that's because the : : piece(s) has two spaces in-between, not one. (Not for sure, never did this one)
