Vexed Spoilers

These "spoilers" detail how to solve the various levels in Vexed, version 1.3 by James McCombe. Read no further if you want to solve them yourself!

There are eight types of block referred to:

Circle - block has a single circle on it
Dot - block has a filled-in black circle on it
Cross - block has a large "X" on it
Square - block has a single square on it
Funnel - block has a funnel-like object on it
Die - block has a black dot at each corner
Checker - block has a checkerboard pattern on it
Bolt - block has fat lightning-bolt on it

"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.

And of course, thank you James for a really fun game!
