Hints

This page has hints; the puzzles are here.

The hints are hidden via a black background; select them or click and hold on them to view them (clicking and holding has only been tested on a computer but may also work on a phone).

Make sure to view the hints in order unless it's specifically stated that you can do otherwise. Later hints often spoil the information in earlier hints.

An "aha moment", for the purpose of these hints, is a part of a puzzle that isn't clear (where there's no fixed standard for "clear"). Hints that spoil an aha moment will say so.

There are many hints for each puzzle because I think many small hints is better than a few large hints when viewing a hint doesn't have a large cost.

Metapuzzle

Here are the solutions if you really need them. However, the hints are rather thorough and should help you in most situations (the main exception being data gathering).
