Possibly unintended solution for 44

I finished this one totally ignoring one of the 6 blocks.. Not sure if that's what you were going for?

[removed spoiler]

I can edit this and remove it later on if you want. The game is amazing btw, just need to get my head around 46 and 47 now :-)

Thanks for posting this, in this case this is the intended solution.  The extra box is there for a few reasons, but it basically comes down to appearance and making the solution slightly less telegraphed.  With five boxes it is somewhat easy to see where each one needs to end up and then reverse-engineer the solution (a tactic I would not usually discourage, but I felt it undermined the satisfaction of finding the "trick" here); with six the idea was that it would feel like too many so the player wouldn't know how many they actually needed to use.  It ended up being more jarring than I intended, especially when the previous 43 levels used pretty much everything provided.

Ah, that makes sense! It was the combination of the level's spaciousness and the spare box that made me think I might have missed something, but there's definitely a pleasing lock-and-key feeling to getting the right configuration of boxes and movement to let you through.
