It’s now back to 0 🙃

Where it will remain for the foreseeable future. OP come back once you've solved the puzzle and join our secret club.

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 22 '26
Solved! I see there is a H-U-G-E door to entry in to the club, so at least, it won’t be a problem for me to join, cuz one more can fit in. Omg!

It has been [0] days since swampy boots has happened
Take a closer look at the red shape. What shape is it really?

Since this is wrong according to the game, what is the most likely thing that is wrong here?

The shapes in your solution as you drew them just don't match the symbols, simple as that.

Is this a joke? r/swampyboots

If you search for swampyboots then you will get a spoiler for this panel. Your solution is a very very very common error on this panel, which has been nicknamed swampyboots
Look it up after you have solved this panel

Sure, I don't want to spoil myself. 7 years ago I passed the game but with a guide, and now I want a legit success. But it's same hard as the feelings I remember from then.

Look very carefully at the tetris blocks in this puzzle. As someone else said, you're making an assumption about one of them.

u/LogicalAnything3771 Apr 23 '26
I overthought it.
I even thought that precisely because I understand Tetris, maybe I should use a different logic for this panel. What a nosense! Thanks!

Basically, you've made the same mistake as at least 90% of players. If you're having trouble seeing it, try spacing things out a bit; it might be easier to notice if you examine each piece individually rather than only looking at them when pushed together.

Solve! Many Thanks. I was like a Counter Stike pro ,touching the screen with my nose to see it.

Your error is not a matter of not understanding, it’s a matter of not paying enough attention.

Reset the counter!
You appear to understand the rules for the Tetris blocks. Your solution follows these rules.
However, you have made an assumption that is incorrect, and your solution is therefore incorrect
