Thanks for the feedback!
That puzzle was a subject of some debate with my family. We could solve it by hand in 31 moves, and weren’t sure whether to give players some breathing room with extra moves. I think you’re right that it’s not consistent with the rest of the puzzles, and part of the challenge is solving with limited moves.
❤️ the idea of an offline brute force solver to find the minimum number of steps… it’s very possible we didn’t even find the most optimal solutions to our own puzzles.
I’m glad you enjoyed the game!
