What a wonderful puzzle. I loved it.
Can't believe that what confused me the most was how to enter my answer during the very first pill puzzle

Thank you! I have read all the hints in this forum! I am stuck on the emojis any hints are welcome!

1. Finding the puzzle: Go to the Hints & Solutions page. Make sure you have entered in all your solutions so they should all say "solved."
2. Starting the puzzle: Try entering some random solution. Don't give up. Keep entering wrong answers like many many many times. Eventually you'll be able to actually start the puzzle.
Let me know if you need more help :)

Now that I'm done, I thought I'd give some tips for all the mini-puzzles. The hints are in order of spoilage, and I do recommend you try to solve the puzzles and think about it for a while before you look at the hints. Also: Do not use mobile for this theorem. Seriously.
Finding the puzzles:
It's all on the Hints and Solutions page.
Focus on the solution box.
