Vexed Spoilers

These "spoilers" detail how to solve the various levels in Vexed, version 1.4a (game by James McCombe, levels by Steve Haynal). Read no further if you want to solve them yourself!

There are eight types of block referred to:

"Top", bottom", "left" and "right" refer to the block furthest in each of those directions. "Middle" means the middle block of three of the same type, either vertically or horizontally. If only some blocks can move, the references may refer only to the movable blocks. Remember that after EACH move the "left", right" etc. may refer to different blocks! Hopefully the block references are clear enough.

I do not claim these are the only solutions. If you find better ones by all means let me know. "Better" in this case means fewer moves. And of course, if I've stuffed up or been ambiguous, please let me know that too.

Thank you again, James for a really fun game, and Steve for all these new levels!
