US Version

The shape you're moving the letters around in is completely symmetrical, and there are only two blocks in the way, so you should be able to solve this puzzle with a regular, systematic series of moves.

You can start over as many times as you want, so think about the most efficient way to move the letters into place and see what works.

UK Version

The frame you're moving the letters around in is a regular shape and there are only two blocks in the way, so you should be able to solve this puzzle with a systematic series of moves.

You can start again as many times as you like, so think about the most efficient way to move the letters into place and see what works.

US Version

You'll run out of moves if you try to maneuver the letters into place one by one. Think about how you can rotate all of the letters into position while making your moves.

UK Version

You'll run out of moves if you try and manoeuvre the letters into place one by one. Think about how you could rotate all the letters into position at once while making your moves.

Move the lower blue stone over to the right, and slide the C all the way down. Now move the upper blue stone into the A slot, and slide the D all the way left...

Can you figure out the pattern now?
