As I've become quite desperate to accomplish a decent NoSkips run, I've hit the other roadblock in my path. This puzzle. Unlike many of the other puzzles in the game which either don't require much thought or the setup is always the same, this one is very strategic and doesn't have a consistent starting point. I've for sure seen 2 different starting layouts for the puzzle and I'm sure there are at least a couple more. Much like the other puzzles in this game, BigFish has a guide on it but its only for one of the starting points.

So either A: Reset run until desired puzzle-start, or B: Figure out a way to consistently solve the puzzle no matter the puzzle-start. B is obviously preferrable yet much harder to accomplish.

The hint of "start from the top left corner and solve clockwise" actually helped out alot as I went from not being able to solve the puzzle in under 10-20 minutes to 100% solving in under 5. Yet still this feels slow and unintuitive. If anyone has any ideas on how to get an algorithm going or otherwise solve it more reliably, I would sure appreciate the help (as would the rest of the community!) Otherwise I guess this ends up being a somewhat frustrating instance of "Practice makes perfect"

I have submitted the potential first recorded run for this game. I plan to write up a quick run down of the route I think is most optimal if it gets approved and I also want to do a run for the post game content.

The any% for this game would be quite long and annoying, thus why there are currently no runs for the category. I think single segments or more specifically, Grace, would be interesting.

I'm wanting to start running this game but Im typically uninterested in glitched runs, why is there no "No Glitches" category? Or is Any% NG+ supposed to fill that role?
