A Mole in a Hole

Why We Picked A Mole in a Hole

A Mole in a Hole has no timer and no lives, so the only pressure is the space you have already spent. Thin on paper, and considerably less thin once the board fills. There is a fair kind of difficulty here: the board never hides what it asks, it just asks more of it. It sits at 84 of 172 on the puzzle shelf, and the games above it are mostly bigger, not better. The page's own numbers: 4.5 out of 5 from 78 ratings.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• Sound cues can carry instructions the interface never shows, so keep the volume audible.
• The board arrives solvable and leaves solved, and the middle part is your own planning.
• Read the whole board before the first move; the shape of the space is the puzzle.

Editor’s Note

There is no hint worth using, which is either the point or a problem depending on why you came. There is no hint economy and no currency; the only resource is the space you have not used.
