Is this solution wrong? (swamp)
I don't want spoilers ot tips, I just want to know if the solution of the screenshot should be accepted or not:

Basically, I just want to know if it's me who misunderstood the rules or if the game bugged.

I stumbled on the same puzzle, complaining that the game algorithm must be somehow incomplete. When I finally figured out the correct way, though, I realized that I was just an idiot...

So here is a hint: look at the tetris blocks carefully, even including the spacing.

Looks like a correct solution to me. I'm thinking the confusion might be with the bottom-left-most puzzle piece. There's only one gap on those, even though it looks bigger.

So, imagine it takes up the spaces marked X with the gap marked with O.

There are 2 spaces between the bits of that one piece.

No, the solution wouldn't work if that were the case.

No, the solution would be correct if there were only one gap between the 2 seperated lines. There are 2 spaces between the lines and the solution provided is wrong given this criteria.

I was literally stuck on the same puzzle for about 30 minutes before realizing there was a larger gap and had tried what OP had done constantly.

Really? I could've swore I solved it couple days ago with it only having one space. Apologies if I provided bad info.

Two spaces between the lower most shape, meaning it flanks the far left and right side of the grid and the other shapes need to navigate in between. This one is tough, but just wait until you get to the puzzles coming shortly afterwards.
