Progressive solving hints

These are original Crafty Puzzles hints based on the published objective and mechanism. They do not reproduce the manufacturer's challenge booklet or solution diagrams.

Hint 1

Start with the largest or smallest number constraints because they usually allow fewer combinations.

Hint 2

Use intersections: satisfying one number changes the possibilities for neighbouring numbers.

Hint 3

When stuck, move a tile at a highly connected junction rather than adjusting an isolated triangle.

Background
