How do I solve Lens Bender Puzzles?
You solve the Lens Bender Puzzles by moving the pieces to the proper lens around the border of the picture, and then using the arrow to inject that piece into the picture. If the piece is in the proper orientation, and it has a place to stick onto in the picture, it will add itself to the picture.
An easy way to solve all the Lens Bender puzzles is to carry all the pieces to the lens at 2 o'clock. Then send each piece through the puzzle to the lens at 5 o'clock. After they are all there, send them back. Next, take all the pieces to the lens at 3 o'clock, send them through the picture to the lens at 9 o'clock, and then send them all back. Finally, drag the remaining pieces to the lens at 5 o'clock, and send them all through to the lens at 10 o'clock and back.
If any pieces remain, it means that the location that holds the piece wasn't available. Just repeat this whole process for the remaining pieces. Along the way, if you see any pieces that you can figure out, just carry them to the right lens and send them in. This will speed up the process, of course!
With this method, you should never need to use a hint or a solver on a Lens Bender Puzzle.
