General hints thread

[Hempuli]

Feel free to make a new thread if you're stuck, but you can ask for specific hints here as well!

Keep in mind that the game was built around the idea that you can pick your levels pretty freely; almost every area starts with slightly easier levels so it may even be a good idea to check out early levels in other areas before doing the final levels of an area.

meta extra 3 hints?

There's a bunch of meta ex-3 hints a few pages back. Multiple solutions will work.

What if you could get a Baba into that room to carry the cursor for you?

But there's no way to make the flag or level into a baba due to how the BABA on the map is positioned, and if I had enough flags to open the door to it there wouldn't be a need to make a cursor over there in the first place...

The way I remember it - starting with the cursor on 9, you can ride the level 10 baba down to the door, do CURSOR IS FLAG/FLAG IS PUSH, push the newly-created flag into the door to open it, then FLAG IS CURSOR to re-create your cursor and ride the baba onto level 11.

trying to figure out what to do on Meta-8 to reach Meta-9...
i know i have to do LEVEL IS FLAG and BABA at the same time, and it has something to do with the TELE magic but i can't for the life of me figure out how to make the texts overlap...

Teleports can't cause text to overlap unless you have a way to make the teleport conditional, OR you have more than 2 tiles in the teleport group.

Can I get a hint for Space-11 "Heavy Words"? I don't know why this particular level is tripping me up so much.

Seems as if Dust is Push is relevant due to the way the geometry at the top of the level is designed, but I don't know what that does for me. By the time I can even assemble "Dust is Push" almost all of the words are on the ground.

Focus on trying to spell "Dust is Weak" in the basin to the upper left of the star.

So uhh, this thread is getting kinda long.
I feel like long term maybe we should turn the hint thread into something a bit more user friendly like a compilation guide if someone is up to that or a selectable discussion topic

I've been considering writing up a progressive hint guide for every level in the game.... it's a lot of work, though, lol.

Forest-7 Concrete Goals?

..Anyone?

E: It just clicked that STOP does not inhibit the same noun being PUSHable

I need help in Cavern - 5 "Peril at Every Turn".
I've sacrificed one of the babas to get "KEKE" out of the way, then I can make KEKE IS PUSH, but I can't push keke into the flag.

Small hint: Your method can indeed not work, no way to push Keke to the flag.
Another hint: There is a different way to get the word "keke".
