The Plucky Squire is full of surprises and riddles, and one of the puzzles you'll come across is given to you by a peculiar cat named Topsy. The puzzle may seem rather simple at first, but it gets a bit confusing once you get into it and start moving around.
To be able to continue in the story of The Plucky Squire, you need to solve Topsy's puzzle. Topsy is looking for their cat biscuits, which are hidden on the other page. They're easy to find but difficult to return to Topsy, as the tub of biscuits cannot be rotated and can only be horizontal. However, the game has introduced you to a mechanic where you can swap out words in the storybook, which helps you change your scenery, allowing for new mechanics to be used. This comes into play in Topsy's puzzle.

How To Solve Topsy's Puzzle in The Plucky Squire
First, you'll be told that you can manipulate the terrain by removing one of the words from the script on the page. This allows you to change the terrain between ruins and a forest, which will help you solve the puzzle. You'll want to clear out the enemies in the area so you can access the biscuits at the end of the page without getting attacked.
The biscuits are in the far corner of the right page. You can pull them down and across the terrain. As you drag the biscuits through the terrain, you'll notice rectangular patches on the floor, which hints at where to put the biscuits as you manipulate the terrain. These rectangular patches also have what looks like crumbs from Topsy's biscuits in, making it a good indicator as to where you should put the biscuits.
Slide the biscuits into the first rectangle slot and have it flush against the wall. Then, go back to the start of the left page and manipulate the terrain to be the forest. You'll then be able to move the biscuits further through the pages and bring it closer to Topsy.
