 We no longer have a 'learning mode' option, so here is an attempt to explain how to play an Empty Hand puzzle.
-*When you start the puzzle, the top line shows what blocks you start with.  There are arrow options to the left (<<) and to the right (>>).  Sliding the blocks in either direction lets you position them on the track to the HOME position.

-*Transformations are the steps shown below the top line.  These let you change one group of blocks to a different group of blocks.  When you hit play, the display area in the bottom section shows all seven possible transformations that can ever occur.

-*There are two factors involved:
+We no longer have a 'learning mode' option, so here is an attempt to explain how to play an Empty Hand puzzle.
-*The goal is to change groups of blocks to other groups of blocks (via transformations) until you can clear the track.
