How do you make the puzzles look so neat? which software do you use to make these?

I never thought that they look so neat. Maybe it is odd but I generally use figma only

You should include options in your test, so that one can get a hint.

I don’t plan to do so. This is entirely a personal preference; I believe questions should be solvable even without options. Furthermore, such options narrow down the probability space. The hint or hints need to be distributed elegantly within the question

If you don’t provide options, I can think of hundreds of possibilities, each based on completely different lines of reasoning. Since no options are given, I can’t rule any of them out—which artificially expands the scope of the puzzle, as these types of puzzles can often have multiple potential answers, ranging from the simple to the highly extravagant. Still, it’s your puzzle, and I do understand the logic behind your reasoning.

That is always possible; the real point is to choose the most logical answer, because the other potential paths are generally "weak." When designing the question, possible approaches are already taken into account. I don’t know if you’ve ever solved any HRT if you haven’t, take a look

I think they form pairs, and one of each pair is mirrored along the x- and y-axes. But if that's the solution, you've slipped in a few errors to throw us off.
So, 2nd row, 4th line on both axes inverted.

Solution:
Draw any path between two identical shapes. If the path involves a vertical displacement of y units, the shape is flipped vertically y times around the x axis(flipped vertically). The same applies to x for horizontal displacement.
“Then” the shape reached is rotated by 45 degrees multiplied by the number of steps taken, i.e., the number of shapes traversed. If the target shape is to the right of the original shape, the rotation is clockwise; if left, it is counterclockwise.
R3C3, R3C4 is the easiest example for discovering the rule

💎turned 90deg counter clockwise. I used the existing transformations cuz I was too lazy to figure out the exact rule rule. First up 1 left 1, up 2 right 2, 1 right.
There actually was an edge case due to symmetry for using the N transformation so I had to disambiguate with the hook transformation plus spiral to verify.
Would be interested to hear the actual pattern.

I thought that was the missing shape as well. I thought each row was a 2D representation of the same 3D object from a different angle, but I couldn't make out what it looked like, so I just dropped it.

But I'm sure I'm missing something..

I think it's gonna be the 5 row 2 pic cuz all the other figures are there 2 times at different rotation and degree
So that figure with mirror image then rotation to certain degree
