RANK TEST PUZZLES VS. NORMAL PUZZLES
You must pass Rank Test puzzles in order to progress from Bronze to
Platinum rankings. Rank Test puzzles are different from normal puzzles in
that they have time limits, and must be solved in the given time. Look at
the conditions carefully before taking on the challenge!
Puzzle level-selection screen
If you fail a Rank Test, you can take it
again. You can retry as many times as
you like, but the puzzle will be
different every time.
Challenge rights are unlocked by
solving normal puzzles. However,
ranks must be acquired in order. For
example, if you have acquired Silver
Rank challenge rights, but not yet
acquired the Bronze Ranking, you
cannot attempt the Silver Rank Test
puzzle.
