Why are there gaps on either side of the upper-right square? Seems like shoving those closed (like the OP image) would allow a little more twist on the center squares.

there's a gap on both, just in different places and you can get from one to the other just by sliding. The constraints are elsewhere so wouldn't allow you to twist.

Oh, I see it now. That makes sense.

You have a point. That's obnoxious. I just wanted straight lines. I'll see if I can find another.

I think this diagram is less accurate. The original picture doesn’t have that gap
