Analysing the position can be anything from very easy, in the earlier games, to very complex. The games are arranged in order of difficulty. Each game has four levels, each level has a range of random starting positions. On-screen hints are available for all games. The lowest level of hints may just indicate whether the computer thinks it will win or not.
Full hints describe the winning strategy.
Intermediate hints help you to find the winning strategy. Each hint can be turned on or off, or they can be made available only via a password. Pyramids is simple to analyse on a small board, but harder with a large board. The games are varied but all are easy to understand.
