Hi! Which puzzle would you like help with?

Yeah that is a little tricky.
Part 1
In part 1, you need to place all the alphabets such that the gaps between them match the blocks in the clue sets. All placements can be logically deduced. For example, B and I must be in the 4th and 5th column next to each other and must have at least 3 rows above. Since X/Y is already in the last row, B and I must go in the 4th row.Part 2
In part 2, you have to pay close attention to how each shape moves and interacts with each other. For example, the squares move clockwise along the border. You'll also need to figure out which shape gets priority when multiple shapes are trying to occupy the same box.Part 3
You'll need to use both Part 1 and Part 2 for this.First part of Part 2 shows that the order of precedence when finding the coordinates for the letters is triangle > circle > square. Also see how Doctor Trout got the first two letters.
If you still need help with the solution, you can download CrypticSolutionImagesV2.4 from the downloads section above. :)
Pay close attention to how each shape moves. I’ve given the answers below if you want to confirm your answer.
Squares
Squares move clockwise along the borderCircles
Circles move diagonally and bounce off wallsTriangles
Triangles move down two boxes and wrap around to the first columnOrder of precedence
Some shapes get priority over others. You can see that when both a square and a circle are about to occupy the same position, the square gets preference and the circle moves on to its next position. Order of precedence in occupying a box - square > circle > triangle, so fill squares first, circles second and triangles lastHi! I remembered that someone had streamed the game a while back (thanks Cryptic Hybrid! :D).
You can use the video as a reference for the doctor puzzle, if you like, but the game has been updated since the video was made so a lot of later puzzles will be different! :)
