Returning to simpler forms, a happy accident while trying to make mirrored pairs of worms led to this block-colour design. The jagged edges from worm clashes appear sparingly; brash colours and simple curves are the primary features of the design.

Unlike the dense textures of the previous few puzzles, this pattern was more pure - the solve relying entirely on matching neigbouring colours, made more difficult by the restricted colour palette.

Evolving from [004](/004), this design uses square instead of circular worms. Each piece has lines at right angles with varying thicknesses and offsets.

The constraints in this design made it a delightful puzzle to solve; the limited colour pallette loosely groups areas of the puzzle, but the gradation of the lines and edges where the two orientations meet were the keys to solving it.

Evolving from the previous two puzzles, this design adds one more degree of orientational complexity by using triangular worms pointing in two directions.

I found the solve less engaging than [005](/005) because the curves were much looser, so there wasn't a lot of variation in the thicknesses of the lines between neighbours. I was largely reliant on grouping colours and orientations rather than being able to pick out neighbouring pieces by eye.
