Loving this! Having some trouble on 39 and 44 (40-43 were relatively quick!).

Taking your cue and using rot13 go describe what i've attempted:

39: cerggl trahvaryl fghpx, v'ir zrffrq nebhaq jvgu fgnpxvat obkrf, svthevat bhg qvssrerag jnlf gb cbfvgvba gurz fb gung gur yrsg snpvat obk raqf hc bhgfvqr ba gur yrsg snpvat fvqr, chfuvat obkrf hc ntnvafg gur terl jnyy vafvqr bs gur obk gb zbir nebhaq, ohg ubarfgyl whfg ab cebterff.

Great job getting so far already! This is not an easy game.

Yeah those are both very tricky puzzles. 39 because it's very cramped and requires some good Sokoban and spatial reasoning, and 44 because the lynchpin is tough.

It's hard to hint because they're both pretty involved, but:

Hints for 39:

Gel sbphfvat ba fnivat n fvatyr funcr. Bapr lbh pna qb gung, vf gurer n jnl lbh pna rkgraq gung grpuavdhr gb gjb funcrf? Naq gura guerr?
Lbh arrq nyy gur fcnpr lbh pna trg. Vs lbh qba’g unir rabhtu ebbz va n yngre fgrc, vf gurer n jnl gb cbfvgvba guvatf va na rneyvre fgrc gb svk gung?
Vf gurer n jnl gb hfr n cbegny gb chg gur fgnegvat cbegny va n zber snibenoyr fcbg?

Hints for 44:

Since you're a little farther in this one, I'll give some more direct hints:

Lrf, gurer vf n jnl gb erfphr gur bss oybpx sebz oruvaq gur tngr, ohg vg'f n irel gevpxl zbir.
Znxr fher lbh qba'g hfr lbhe erfbheprf orsber vg'f nofbyhgryl arprffnel. Lbh arrq nyy gur ryrzragf lbh unir npprff gb.

thanks much! i'll dig into these soon, but that latter hint on 44 is def something i was wondering and glad to have the nudges in the right direction, and similarly on 39 super helpful to know what the basic strategy i'm looking for is ( and I had accomplished bullet 3 on 39 so glad to have figured that out :) )
