Sounds like the perfect playground for a pattern‑loving brain. If you give each axis a rule that only shows up when you line up multiple dimensions, the brute‑force approach becomes a waste of time. Stick to a small set of constraints—maybe a color rule, a number rule, and a spatial rule—and let the intersections create those “aha!” moments. Just remember: the trick is to hide the obvious paths so the solver has to look for the hidden geometry instead of just grinding. Let's build something that feels like a maze made of mirrors.
