Move the rubber bands: Logic puzzle

Move the rubber bands: Logic puzzle opens each level with a mess. Rubber bands lie scattered across the field, and your job is to return every one of them to its proper place. The field is built from pins, and the bands travel along those pins rather than jumping freely around the board.

The destination for each band is a platform of matching colour. The description calls the moving pieces cutters in one line, but the idea stays the same: slide each piece along the pins until it sits on the platform of its own colour. Getting one band home is easy; getting all of them home without one standing in the way of another is the actual puzzle.

The game is upfront that a solution will not always come quickly. Some levels ask you to strain your logic, and others test your ability to navigate in space, picturing where a band will end up before you move it. The tags describe it as a relaxing time-killer, so the challenge sits in the thinking.

1. Study where the rubber bands lie at the start of the level.
2. Find the platform of the matching colour for each band.
3. Move each band along the pins towards its platform.
4. Place every band on its colour to finish the level.

Move the band with the shortest, least crowded route first. Getting it out of the way often opens a path for the others.
