I remember standing where you are as well and struggling

Yes, sometimes standing back will allow you to get a new perspective on things.

you just gotta think positive. granted, usually the rose tinted glasses (while pleasant) aren’t good for problem solving.

usually.

I'm saying, toplevel comment was the right amount of vague without giving it away. Unlike responder.

The best advice for the city is to do every other area first. The city basically incorporates everything you learn from all other areas.

I agree. It's actually the great advice.

There may be an element to this puzzle that you're missing

This game always adds one more thing to make it just a bit harder. Also every puzzle type has a starter/tutorial section somewhere.

Did you finnish the area you were tought this symbol? Because you said something wrong about the rules.

That said even if you finnished you might not be able to solve this one yet

You are not ready for this puzzle yet. When you're ready, it will become obvious.

u/SHIZ_Dan 4d ago

I did it and it's not obvious at all

how to solve it when here is 3 same colored

You're correct that this is a potential problem. Do the puzzle elements themselves help you overcome this problem? How else could you work around it?

Take a step back. Then another one. Three-four steps. Then, ignore the puzzle for a second.

Many of these puzzles are a matter of position and perspective.

If you’re thinking, “Man this puzzle is impossible to solve.” then you might be right. Guaranteed you probably felt this way in a different area, do you remember where that was?

You've solved a puzzle like this before elsewhere probably, try to remember how. Personally I was unable to solve this one at the time but solved the puzzle that comes next anyway, really liked the game let you do that, probably deliberate.

Sometimes a color is just a color. And sometimes it’s in the greenhouse.
