DEVIL DICE Puzzle Solutions

The notation is quite easy to understand. Each letter corresponds to a movement on the grid of squares which make up the floor of each puzzle. You must move your devil to the next square in the direction corresponding to the letter. This may be by rolling or pushing a dice or walking across the floor. The first few puzzles introduce you to the basic concepts of the game as illustrated in the manual and completing these should show you how the notation works.

For an example of how the notation works along with diagrams see the solution for Puzzle 60.

Often you will find that after you have completed the first few moves the solution becomes obvious and you no longer need the notational solution.

There are many ways of doing some puzzles, either following the hint or not. The 'Standard Solution' is a solution using the hint, the 'Star Solution' is a solution which completes the puzzle in less than the allotted moves.

I would recommend only using the solutions when you are really really stuck, as most puzzles become obvious once you have thought about it for a while, and repeating the same puzzle over and over is sometimes the only way to work out a strategy. Believe me I've done it!
