Requesting help: where do I go next?
I returned to the game after the update and I think I got a fair number of the new puzzles done, even though it was hard to tell where to access them. However, all of the ones that are available to me now just seem impossible at this point and I don't know which ones I should be trying to solve if I want to reach new areas, and which ones (if any) are unsolveable at this point.

I uploaded some screenshots to my profile which show the areas that are least explored. Could anyone give me some pointers on how I should be trying to tackle these? I hope this link works: https://steamcommunity.com/id/LTK_70/screenshots/?appid=1052990&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=grid

If the 5 latest screenshots are the only islands you haven't explored, you should have access to most of them. The only islands I'm unsure is under the "single cloud" near the center of this screenshot:

I'm unsure of those as I haven't accessed them yet, but I'm fairly confident that can already access them.

General hint:
The first sentence of this post is a somewhat vague hint for some of the islands you haven't visited yet.

Hints for each screenshot in order of left to right as it appears in your link:

Note that when I refer to a single cluster of islands, I mean that set of islands requires you to access a specific cloud-covered island in that cluster to gain access to the rest of that cluster. That said, I may be basing this off unintended solutions.

In the screenshot I linked above, the islands under the large cloud in the upper portion of the screenshot are actually 2 different clusters which can be solved independently of each other.

There are 2 clusters in this screenshot, and the separation is pretty obvious: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2573071031

This is just a single cluster: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2573070996

The separation of two clusters in the following screenshot is obvious except for one of the islands which might actually be separate. I say that one of the islands might be separate because it is actually an old island that I've already visited. I don't remember the solution to that island and the solution may have changed anyway. I was wrong about that island being separate.

These are technically 3 separate clusters in the following screenshot. Elaborating on why they're technically may be too much of a spoiler for you so I won't unless you ask.

Okay, thanks a lot for taking a look at them. These are not quite *all* the places I haven't reached but most of the other unexplored islands are single, isolated ones like those on the edges in my first screenshot. I've persevered and discovered the islands with the scarecrow and the hair straightener, the latter of which was just me being myopic about the solution.

However, I'm still baffled by how I'm supposed to access the rest of the cluster in my second screenshot. It looks like I need to push a log west so I can cross the gap from the mailbox island to the adjacent one, but that's impossible unless I can mailbox around to the top and push it down from there, which is also impossible. Am I barking up the wrong tree, or am I just blind?

For the islands in the second screenshot: you're right about pushing a log west to bridge the gap from the mailbox island. The log you need to do that comes from the deluxe bird bath island.

That confirms it, I'm blind. I was so focused on finding an alternative way to go from top to bottom I totally missed I could just roll the thing. Thank you.
