Garden eels in the sand

Spotted garden eels standing out of burrows in pale sand

Filling the tank…

In the frame

Spotted garden eels stand up out of their burrows in a wide stretch of pale sand, all leaning the same way. Deep blue water with a rippled surface fills the top half.

This dive leaves all 12 tiles of a 4 × 3 board in place but rotates them by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. Tap each tile until the whole picture stands upright.

Dive plan

  1. Start with the easy part: the nearest eels and their dark spots.
  2. Save for last: the pale sand and the deep blue water. About 25% of the frame has little detail, mostly in the top third, and those pieces look alike.
  3. Each tap turns a tile a quarter clockwise; right-click or Shift+Enter turns it back.
  4. Start with tiles that contain a horizon, a body or a straight edge — their upright position is obvious.
  5. For plain tiles, follow the light: water and sky usually get brighter towards the top of the picture.
  6. Work row by row so you never lose track of which tiles are done.

How deep it goes

Depth 2 of 5 — an easy dive.

Reef dives sit in the middle: enough pieces to need a plan, never so many that a phone screen feels crowded.
