Rule Set Hints (Worlds 1 to 10)

Por Pianfensi

EDIT: Please refer to the comments below. My save game got lost so I cannot verify all the hints.

Understand is a game that shines through its aha moments, the little sibling of the Witness kinda. But sometimes you just don't get it but the solution would spoil it completely. So I tried to make a guide which gives you little nudges to solve the puzzles on your own to get this kind of feeling how smart you really are.

This guide will give you the rules (as I would describe them), from general to specific in spoiler tags.
It can also be helpful, if you try to formulate the rules on your own and learn from them for the next level. Or just read previous hints from other levels to take just the right amount of a hint.
As the dev already suggested in their guide, use paint or a tool to draw on screen (like Epic Pen). It makes it a lot easier to keep track of impossible paths. World 5 is more like a logical puzzle and you can easily deduct the right path.

Please only comment with spoiler tags. I will only add more worlds when I got through them by myself.

Have fun with this game, yes it is and I nearly refund it in 1-1, because I was so stupid to understand what it tried to tell me.

World 5

5-1

start with 1
before starting with the next number cover all previous ones

5-2

start with 1
go on with 2
start again, if necessary

5-3

start with 1, if possible
count the cells from the beginning
the number shows the cell number in your path
cover the whole grid

5-4

start with a number
the number shows the an amount of ...
empty cells that should follow in your path

the sum of the numbers within the areas gives the size of the area

5-9

don't cover any number
look at the right of each number
the number indicates the amount of cells including in your path, anywhere to the right of it

5-10

don't cover any number
the number n tells you something about the cells orthogonally to it
it's kind of a limiter
for each number n there must be one cell in your path, that is exactly n cells away (top, bottom, left, right)

5-? (with credits to Koshino)
! even with hints and the perfect explanation it is quiet complicated !

start and end with circle
cover all numbers
boards 1 to 5 and 6 to 9 are interdependent
pay attention where you enter and exit the board
on board 2 the path has to turn
the path through the 2 shows you the enter and exit
the number tracks the solution of the related board in 5-?
you have to enter and exit the numbers the same way like you began and ended the related board, or will begin and end ... and that is quiet a challenge
the enters/exits of 6 and 7 (8 and 9) should be rotated about 180°
all four levels have different combinations

6-2

start with circle
end with square

both areas have the same shape ...
but one is rotated about 180°

6-6

start with blank
end with blank
lucky guessing

6-7 (with credits to Koshino)

start wherever you like
end wherever you like
the symbols you cover count
they're vertically mirrored with another symbol or to themselves, according to the grid

6-8

start wherever you like
end wherever you like
cover all squares
build two areas with at least one circle
the area shapes have to be point symmetric to each other

build one area ...
that is axisymmetric

6-10

start with blank
end with blank
build areas ...
that you can rotate about 180° ...
so that the shape is congruent ...
and the symbols (when in shape), too

6-?

start with circle
end with square
cover all stars
avoid triangles
but search the solution on the "back" of the current level
the solution for the second level is the path for the vertically flipped grid of the second last level and so on

World 7

7-1

cover all arrows
leave arrow cells in the direction of the top

7-2

cover all arrows
enter arrow cells in the direction of the base

7-3

cover all arrows
leave arrow cells in the direction of the top
enter arrow cells in the direction of the base
before covering another type of arrow you have to cover all of the previous type

7-4 (credits: Sly Rocko)

start wherever you like
the top of the arrows points on cells that have to be included in the path
The cells on the opposite end of where a triangle is pointing to must NOT be included in the path.

7-5

start wherever you like
the triangles point on something
triangles that another triangle immediatly points at have to be in the path

7-6

start with blank
avoid triangles
cells to the base and top of each triangle are part of the path
the cell to the base has to be drawn before the one at the top

7-7 (with credits to Koshino)

start wherever you like
cover the triangles
base and top cells are not allowed in the path
the triangles show a mathematical operator
compare the area sizes

7-8

start with blank
avoid triangles
pay attention to the arrow directions
build a path that uses every direction exactly once to get from cell to cell

7-9

start with blank
avoid triangles
the top is important
you may only use one cell of the row/column it is pointing to for your path

7-10

start anywhere
cover all triangles
leave triangles via the top
the path includes at least one cell above the top
the path has to be drawn till the first obstacle (symbol, path, starting box, border) - seems a bit vague

7-?

begin with circle
end with square
cover all triangles
live with the consequences
good luck

cover all stars
no straight lines between cells
always turn left and right

9-5

Doctor Worm 24 NOV 2024 a las 9:41 a. m.

The rules for 6-9 are wrong, and I assume it's because they got updated. Your solution lists 5 rules, but there are only 4 in the game. The rule of ||pass through all squares|| is no longer necessary, as evidenced by 6-9-2. The rule of ||Create an unfilled region that is axis symmetric|| is wrong, as evidence by ||making a c-shaped path|| in 6-9-6. I was able to solve 6-9 fully without being able to figure out what the last rule is, so I'm sorry that I don't have a correction.

Samantha Prezombie 19 AGO 2024 a las 4:11 p. m.

4-10 last rule: like 4-9, but one of the duplicated sections is rotated

DaemonStrassur 20 NOV 2023 a las 1:46 p. m.

The rules for 1-10 aren't quite correct, should read:

* Start at the top left
* Finish at the top right
* (Any route between the two is valid)

floenele 7 MAR 2023 a las 4:44 a. m.

6 - 6 correction when mirrored horizontaly

floenele 7 MAR 2023 a las 4:42 a. m.

6 - 6
cover all spots circles cover when mirrored
don't cover circles

floenele 7 MAR 2023 a las 4:32 a. m.

6-5 rule 4 the filled in area must be the same shape as the empty area, rotated 180 degrees

Starwort 22 FEB 2023 a las 4:30 a. m.

Can't find an edit button, I meant isolate that shape not draw over all other cells

Starwort 22 FEB 2023 a las 4:29 a. m.

4-10: The fourth rule appears to be Pick a shape, using different rotations only (i.e. each way up at most once) cover all the squares with it; then, draw the line over all other cells

Hotmud9 17 SEP 2022 a las 9:23 p. m.

3-6 is half wrong. The actual third rule is Don't touch any squares. The actual fourth rule is Make sure that EXACTLY 2 shapes are in each division.

TheOogieBoogie 21 AGO 2022 a las 12:56 p. m.

An additional rule for 5-8 is the built areas have to be of equal size. They can be different shapes, but all areas have to have equal sizes.
