About Astray

Astray gives clear feedback on pattern reading and consistent control after every attempt. The safest route through Astray is clear: identify the governing rule, test a legal move, and keep future options open while working toward the solved state. Use the next Astray attempt to apply one correction: keep one reversible move available so a wrong assumption does not force a full restart.

The quickest way to understand Astray is to test one control, read the outcome, and connect it to pattern reading. Before committing a limited move, check whether the remaining pieces still have a legal route to their targets. When the Astray response becomes predictable, add speed or risk without abandoning the setup.
