Huge Bug Puzzle in The Plucky Squire Solution

To solve the Huge Bug puzzle in The Plucky Squire, you need to replace the word Huge with Tiny to clear the path and progress forward. Here is how you can do this.

  • First, take out the enemies on the right side of the platform, which will unlock the gate at the left.
  • Grab the word “Full“, and make your way to the left side of the platform.
  • Now, use the green portal near the gate and head outside the storybook
  • Make your way to the top right-end of the book and enter the storybook using the green portal.
  • Here, grab the word “Drained“, and replace it with “Full“
  • Once the lake is full of water, head left using the lilypads and pull the lever.
  • Head back right, and replace the word “Full” with “Drained” again
  • Head down into the drained moat, and grab the word “Open”
  • Make your way back to the main area, and place the word “Open” in the “THE RUSTY GATE WAS CLOSED” sentence.
  • This will open the gate, and you can grab the word “Tiny” near the frog
  • Place the word “Tiny” in the sentence “A ____ BUG SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PATH”
  • This will shrink the bug to a tiny size, and you can cross the bridge

That’s all you have to do, and while you’re here, make sure to unlock the huge frog achievement in The Plucky Squire as well.
