The 11th Hour Hints
Rules
1 of 8: Stauf is a real egomaniac.
2 of 8: And he loves anagrams.
3 of 8: You need to rearrange the letters in this puzzle to spell "STAUF."
4 of 8: You can only move one letter at a time with the little engine.
5 of 8: You are also allowed to control the switches on the train tracks (click either on the fork in the track itself or on the color flags), so you can divert the train either to the top track or to the bottom track.
6 of 8: You can also send the train either to the left or to the right (click either on the dial in the lower-right corner of the screen or on the far ends of the track). When the train moves to the left, it will head to the far end of the track. When you move it to the right, it will stop halfway across the track first. You can then send the train to the right again.
7 of 8: Whenever the train changes direction, it will drop its letter if it was already carrying one or pick up a letter if it wasn't.
8 of 8: Of course, the switches need to be set so the train has track that it can follow. If you can't move the train, you may need to flip the appropriate switches.
