Strategy
The general strategy for this level is to enter through the right room into the middle of the left room. There the boulders should be organized precisely so that the left room can be cleared.
All boulders are replaced by letters so they can be referred to. Moving the boulders is shortened to r for right, l for left, u for up, d for down. An asterisk is used to denote the last move filled a pit (and thus removed the boulder from the game). So Nddrr* means move boulder N two times down and two times to the right into a pit.

The general strategy for this level is to enter through the right room into the middle of the left room. There the boulders should be organized precisely so that the left room can be cleared.
At first the T boulder should be pushed into the right room, because the entrance above the T should stay clear.

In the left room align the boulders to form a 2x3 area in which you are able to turn boulders around. These moves are the most crucial to successfully finishing this level.
