Easy2
This puzzle has a turntable in the lower right corner.
Two 1x1 pieces or a 1x2 piece can rotate 90 degrees:
. . . X . X . .
X Y -> . Y or . Y -> X Y
Easy - "Version 2"
For this formulation, using the turntable starts a new move.
For example, moving horizontally, then rotating to vertical
via the turntable, then moving vertically, is 3 rectilinear
moves, independent of turntable orientation before the move.
Turntable orientation at the start and end does not matter.
