- Reposted by ♢ Fen ♢I've been practicing making LOK puzzles for the last few weeks in preparation for making a video on how to make and design LOK puzzles. Part of this practice is just creating a muscle memory of different solving and design techniques. Part of it is analysing existing puzzles and why they work.
