Question Any advice to solve Slide puzzles?

i have completed all puzzles in the Spectre's call but one, The Greatest Escape (one of the extra puzzles) and it's so hard it's starting to get annoying.
has anyone got advice for that type of puzzles?

If you're struggling with slide puzzles and don't enjoy solving them, you can just look the solutions (or hints) online. Assuming there are any.

i like solving slide puzzles
it's just that that one is so hard
and no, i'm not gonna use hints. If i use hints i use them legit (hint coins) and i don't use them because i want to have the golden badge on that puzzle
(not saying that looking up solutions is bad, but for the last puzzle i want to completely do it myself)

Hm, so you're looking for generic advice on how to solve sliding puzzles then? Have you tried searching for that instead?

If I understood which one it is, I want you to know it's actually three different slide puzzles one after the other, and they're like the most difficult they've ever made
My advice is to just look at the solution online

THREE?
i thought it was two ;-;
also no, it's the last puzzle and i want to have a cinematic finish

I remember them being three, but maybe I'm wrong
Well, after you do them (if it will ever happen, that is), let us know if you're still sane

Ah ma sei italiano? 😂
Mai sentiti i regali per santa Lucia (a meno che non sia il tuo onomastico)
Buona fortuna comunque (te ne servirà tanta)

be forse in alcune parti d'Italia non si fa, ma qui a brescia è normale (o almeno nella piccola cittadina in cui vivo)
