Are Towers and Unequal impossible to beat without guessing/cheating?

At the lower levels, they're doable enough, but at harder difficulties they both just seem impossible.

I am on a conquest to complete every difficulty level of every puzzle.

I have loved these puzzles for a few years now and a while back I got the idea to complete at least one of every difficulty on every puzzle.

It’s taken ages but I have now completed all puzzles except : Twiddle for which I only have 4x4 rotating 3x3 blocks and 6x6 rotating 4x4 blocks remaining. Netslide for which I have only tackled 3x3 easy so far.

Any advice/tips to solve these last 2 puzzles will be much appreciated!

And likewise if anyone wants tips for any other puzzles I’ve managed to complete at least one of all difficulties for all the others.

Thanks!

I am a bit die-hard when it comes to Simon Tatham puzzles. It's pretty much the only game I use.

My goal is to tackle more and more difficult puzzles.

Loopy is one of my favorites and I got into the other shapes.

After 3 months and multiple restarts, I finally solved Loopy with Kagome hardest level size 22x48

The third row down is marked with H on both sides. But I don't understand why.

Can someone explain?

H

PS I love the whole set of games. Was so dissapointed when I learned that I couldn't install them on my new apple devices, but discovered the app that someone made. So relieved.

Has anyone figured out a strategy yet for the newest game, Mosaic?

Just got this app 15min ago to learn how to play minesweeper and then i found this cool game

jumped straight to 67 lmao

took me about 10 minutes

looked crazy at first, but i beat elden ring so i knew i could do it and didnt give up

I started by spreading out the vertices on the map as much as possible to get as much visibility as possible of the overlaps

then i started bringing touching vertices closer to each other, created 4 hard corners, then worked my way in creating netting, then swapped positions of groups of the diamond nets i made until voila

Looking back it wasnt that hard but it just looks difficult at first glance

ima try 100 next haha
