I've done my due diligence with the slider puzzle in the niche off the meeting hall and am ready to call it quits. Does anyone have a saved game for just after the puzzle is solved?

Thanks!

Kristi

Hi Kristi,

I haven't any saves for this game yet - let's wait for help here.

Will do! In the meantime I'll keep noodling with it--a miracle could happen. :-)

KristiC, have you looked at the walkthru to see what the final product should look like? If not, then maybe that will help you.

If I know what the completed puzzle is supposed to look like, my technique with sliders is to line up what goes into the first row in the last column. For example if the first row is A B C D, then I create

X X X A
X X X B
X X X C
X X X D

Then move the tiles out of the first row and snake the column tiles counterclockwise into the row.

If the second row is J K L M, then I create

A B C D
X X X J
X X X K
X X M L

Now move the tiles out of the second row and snake the column tiles counterclockwise into the row.

A B C D
J K L M
X X X X
X X X X
Etc.

Again, this assumes you know what the final product looks like. If you don't, slider puzzles can be very difficult.

Hi Ronrob--

I did look at the WT and I'm happy to report that with the help of it plus your pointers below, I successfully completed a slider puzzle for what I think may be the very first time! Maybe I've just given up too soon in the past. Thanks for the help!

Hey KristiC -

Hooray!!! Good for you ! Glad to have been some help.

Great that you solved the puzzle, Kristi.

Thanks, ronrob.

OK, I think I've met my match. I have tried and failed fifty times (yes, I counted!) to hook the airship anchor to the structure. I'm just not quick enough to do it despite the hints from ronrob's awesome WT. If any kind soul has a save game for just after that point, I'd certainly appreciate it!

Thanks,

Kristi

Um, never mind--as per usual, five minutes after posting my plea for help I succeeded.

Kristi.......that has happened to me so many times! Been there, done that LOL. The really great thing is, you did it!
