You can and then just reload your other save after seeing it, but there is also a way to close the gate given to you in the challenge area.
Straight answer
There was a pattern in a box down there that you can put on the gate controls.
me too, i don't find.
I'm stuck on this puzzle in the marsh.

I know the puzzle matches my surroundings and I've got to rotate the platform but don't know how to go about solving the puzzle. Hint please.

Got it, thanks.

edit: less spoilery answer above
You have a tetris piece in the middle of the board, and you looked at the world and saw its representation there. Now look at the squares in the world and think what kind of puzzle piece could they be represented as on the board too.

You see what you have to do, but don't forget to actually solve the whole puzzle, not just the part you want to manipulate.

I definitely considered that based on the number of questions asked in this thread, but a lot of people were actually asking because they solved it by guessing and couldn't figure out why... So technically it's not "hard" to solve it by luck.
Is there a fast way to compile all the spoiler-tagged posts from this thread, if you wanted to actually count how many times each puzzle was asked about?

Interesting complication. I guess that could keep the solutions much more open-ended.
I think you could teach Pearl easily if you came up with clear symbols to use, and put in some panels with lots of breaks. That said, the kind of information Pearl provides might make things too easy in the average-sized Witness panel.

Ohh, yeah that's right, thanks! I totally should replay Braid soon.
I thought about it and I even looked for clouds that could fit in some way but I just thought it was too far-fetched.
Maybe you should try the
challenge

I had the exact same experience.
I was taking my time and figuring it out and then the music started getting loud and I freaked out and just threw something at it and got it right. Felt amazing.
When I got my last trophy...
I wasn't quite sure how many of the final riffs of HOTMK were still to come, but I knew it was near the end, and I knew I'd covered the dots I was aware of... so I dived into the endpoint... and failed.
I hastily rebuilt that solution, drifted around a little further, spotted one lone dot I hadn't accounted for and swept it up and hit the end just as the music was petering out.

This *exact* issue stonewalled me for a while until I asked for help. A real brainfart moment for me.

You're fine. You can reload your save from the last puzzle before the ending.
Is that how the ending works? I assumed we could just keep going after. But it sounds like you have to beat the last area / puzzle twice if you beat it with less than full completion and want to do so again with an all clear?

I just finished the final area for the first time last night, and haven't done any of the post-game stuff yet, so I can't comment on that.
What I can say is that, after the ending, you're prompted to start a new game. You can, of course, still load your previous save.

The game will never save beyond a point of no return. Since your completion is defined by the numbers on your save, by definition nothing that is only doable beyond a point of no return can count.
Stuck in (endgame)
the caves. There's three puzzles I can't solve. Two of them are on a wooden wall: A tetris puzzle and the one with the rainbow background. The third one is at the gate to what I believe is the challenge area everyone's talking about. There's three stars and four square tetrominos, all in green. I kinda forgot how stars work together with tetrominos.

1.
It's a variation on one from the marsh. Nothing to do here but try different combinations.
2.
Think about what the real colors must be. The truth is much simpler than the appearance.
3.
Each star must be paired with another star or tetromino. No tricks here except finding the only configuration that works.
Just "completed" the game with all main areas at 437 +22. Now I know I have some (a lot?) of unsolved stuff (
) but I don't really want to ask for tips yet!
Well maybe just one:
Anyway, what an awesome game this is!
Shipyard, the one in the mountain where the line would stop after a certain distance, orange puzzles hidden everywhere, black pillars with symbols on them, environment puzzles, the grey cloud...
Well maybe just one:
Regarding the one in the mountain I mentionned earlier. Should I have learned already why the line won't go after a certain distance? Same applies to the shipyard one but I don't feel like I've seen anything like it before. Is there some place I missed that explains it?
Anyway, what an awesome game this is!

If you've completed
all 11 lasers
Might've been a ways back, though.
Pause and go to the load game option.
So if I want to try for 100% I might as well keep going until there's nothing left to do except the final area? Any reason to beat it before if I have to reload my save anyways?
Hi. I am stuck on one puzzle, it's a symmetric puzzle out side the town.

I thought I had it solved by lining out the palm-trees-tops, and that they most resemble stars, IE pair them up, but no luck. I am completely off-base?
Remembrance

You're thinking too hard.
You have the right idea, just no the right execution! Did you do symmetry?
Hmm I did not count them, I assumed there was as many as there was trophies. Gotta go back and check, thanks!
Ok, solved it, also noticed there was a tree/plant/bush (a little darker color) on the second column from the left, middle row, IE my star theory fell apart. But are the tree's supposed to represent something we learned? Can't remember just "tracing the top" of something as a requirement. Or have I just misunderstood the solution?
Anyway; thx for the help, town laser up!

Have you done the symmetry area? Specifically
the puzzles along the lower coast line in that area.

Oh, I see.
There was a skippable sequence of "tracing the top" panels on the symmetry island.

I only have two puzzles left, and it's the goddamn
. It's the first
puzzle I found (!) and I still haven't managed to solve it. I can do the first one fine, but I can't get the cursor to stay in the brown/orange lines on the building, it just hops back to the last blade each time.
Any hints would be appreciated.
"environmental"
Any hints would be appreciated.
Hmm, can't remember it, will double check. Thx for the heads up.
Edit: Yup, had not seen them, easy peasy
Almost went insane, looking for reflections, tracing paths/walls, atleast I solved a "plus" puzzle when taking the boat to symetry island.Remembrance

I'm stuck on the same thing! Know what I have to do, but the cursor won't obey.
Funny,
it would actually be easier if the windmill looked like it did in that picture.
A single shape will encompass all three symbols.
