- try all puzzles not only "Beginners" ones,
- fold first the ones you like the most,
- try it by yourself to understand what works and what doesn't,
- ask for tips in global chat when you think you don't understand something.
Make sure you have followed these tutorials:
- Lonely Sheets,
- Lock and Lower,

before starting this puzzle.

I think the Foldit game was fun but the instruction was confusing to me. It did help me a bit about the protein structure and folding, but the ddesign part was confusing. To improve the game, I would recommend to put a clear instructions on what to do when the puzzle popped out.
