Sun and Moon puzzle. I'm in a bit of a fix.
there's no skip and I can't do it.

The walkthrough doesn't help as it gives you the moves from the positions all the pieces are in when the puzzle is first encountered. I've obviously tried to do it before looking at the walkthrough so all the pieces are in different positions.
Is there a way around this?
If I have to restart this I shall fall apon my sword.

It seems odd to me that there's no puzzle skip. On the screen for this puzzle, is there a vertical bar on the lefthand side of the screen? There should be an arrow on the top of the bar that allows for a puzzle skip after a whlie (depending upon what difficulty level you are playing), while the reset button is on the bottom of the bar.

If not, the only other thing I can think of to suggest is to watch the puzzle being solved here during a video walkthrough. I don't know what part of the video to refer you to, but you should be able to hopefully find where you are in the game without too much trouble.

Oh Marian, you're a lifesaver. I am so used to the skip button being bottom right of a game that I didn't even notice the bar on the left hand side. I was too arrogant to have the tutorial at the start! Serves me right. Alls well now. Thank you for being here for all of us.

You are most welcome, meryl! I am very happy to be of help. Have fun with the game.
