Simon Tatham's Towers. Not looking for the full solution, just give me a hint on the next steps.

Almost solved it but can't solve the last part, if anyone can come up with a solution please help T-T

What could the last word be???

Rules:
• Use each die exactly once
• + − × ÷ only
• Parentheses allowed

All right I know this isn't like an official puzzle but I'll be honest with you It's just the type of creative thought that this involves is really a problem for my brain and I feel like this is a puzzle that can be solved and I'm just not clever enough to figure it out.

So I'm trying to have it so that the pendant sits in the center of the necklace but both ends are too big to fit through and it's not a c clasp so I can't do that c clasp trick that is online. And in my head and maybe I'm completely wrong and you guys will be smart enough to tell me I would think if there's a certain way I do a whoop I can pull a knot through the hole and that will allow it so that there's an end on both ends but I just can't mentally think my way through it because I'm awful at rope puzzles.

If it's possible I genuinely thank you so much for the answer if it's not possible Thank you for making me feel like less of an idiot lol.

Thank you in advance puzzlers!!!

Update: resolved as unsolvable but at least now I know and I greatly thank you for it!

I have this rope and ring puzzle that I am strugling with for several days now, and I am beggening to think it is unsolvable.

This first image is the original puzzle. The second one is a simplified version with the same knot, without the wooden pieces. Does anybody have an idea?

Hi! I’m working on Rami Hansenne’s “Codex Enigmatum” and am stuck on #10. I have a hint and the answer for anyone who wants it, but I can’t figure out how it’s meant to be solved. Help!

EDIT:
More context: The answers are always one or more English words. In this case, I had assumed the answer would be 4 letters, since there are 4 empty boxes on the right side (which was a correct assumption).

The puzzles in the book are not related in style. Sometimes a previous answer will be used in the solution but it will be clearly marked and it is not indicated here.

Also - I figured it out! Leaving this up for anyone else who wants to solve.

Have to get all blue pieces in top right hole. Clicking between moves both pieces. They stop when hit wall or obstacle.

does anyone know how to solve this?

Help... Me and my partner give up

The goal is to have all tiles be the same color in a limited number of moves. The tutorial wasn’t much help in understanding strategies for this, so I’d appreciate help with this one as well as advice on how to approach these puzzles going forward. Thanks :)

I got a puzzle book and one of the puzzle types is a Masyu. I have never done one before and I am a bit confused on some of the rules.

I get that a turn has to be made in dark circles and outside of white circles. The turn on an adjacent cell to white is what’s tripping me up. Does the turn have to happen right after going through a white circle or can it happen on a different portion of the line?

See the attached puzzle. Specifically the white circle in bottom row of grid. Photo 1, my answer. Photo 2, answer key

Edit: thanks all for the comments.! Looking at the other 4 Maysu puzzles in the book they are all unsolvable!!! Wouldn’t recommend this book 🤦🤦

I’m 100% positive it’s solvable, just not by me at this moment. The method I’d usually start with would help me with one column. That’s it, though.

I just started playing Queens on LinkedIn so I wanted to learn how to play but I genuinely cannot figure out what to do next?
