You can learn most of the tricks you need using tutor.lvl and
tutor-with-playbacks.lvl. I found that in solving hard and especially
deadly levels it helps to create several edited versions of the level
you are solving where you can remove some of the puzzles in the
original and explore different ways to the solution. If this doesn't
work drop that level solve something easyer and return to it later.
