Puzzle strategy guides

Short, working strategies for the puzzle games people play every day. No filler: each guide is the handful of rules that actually save runs.

• How to Solve Water Sort Puzzles

  Count the layers, free your empty tube, dig out buried colors and never lock two colors together — plus what to do when you are stuck.

• How to Solve Parking Jam Puzzles

  Clear the exits first, find the knot, count your forward rolls, and know the difference between stuck and impossible.

• 2048 Strategy: How to Win

  Keep your biggest tile in one corner, swipe only three directions, build chains along the bottom row, and avoid the four mistakes that kill runs before 1024.
