The 11th Hour Hints
Solution
1 of 13: You'll need to build up your solution one letter at a time.
2 of 13: Start by trying to get the "F" on the right end of the track, then start adding the remaining letters backwards ("U," "A," "T," and "S").
3 of 13: Notice that you have two sets of tracks, at least in the middle of the puzzle.
4 of 13: You can use these to store letters.
5 of 13: Also, any time you move the letters from one track to another, you'll reverse their order.
6 of 13: Start by moving the first four letters you can reach (F, A, U, and S) to the bottom track. They'll now "spell" "SAUF."
7 of 13: Then move the "T" to the center of the top track, and then move the letters from the bottom track to the center of the top track, one by one, until the top track spells "AUST".
8 of 13: You can then take the "F" from the bottom track and move it right to the far end of the puzzle.
9 of 13: Basically, you should do the same thing with the remaining letters. If you want a more explicit answer, read ahead.
10 of 13: To move the "U" into place, you'll first need to put the "A" on the far right end of the puzzle. Then move the "UST" to the bottom track, and then move the "A" back to the center of the top track.
11 of 13: From there, move the "T" and "S" from the bottom track up to the middle of the top track. You should have "STA" on the top track and "U" on the bottom track. Then, slide the "U" over to the right.
12 of 13: To get the "A", just slide the "S" and "T" on the top track down to the bottom track, and then move the "A" to the far right.
13 of 13: You can then pick up the "T" and then "S" individually and carry them to the right edge of the puzzle. (To get the "T," you'll have to move to the left end first, then go along the top track to the far right.)
