Puzzle Differences

What are the main differences between the puzzle sizes?

The first and most important difference is the grid size. The small puzzle has a 10x10 grid, where as the normal puzzle has a 15x15 grid, and the large puzzle has a 20x20 grid. Naturally the larger the puzzle, the longer it will take to solve and generally the harder the puzzle.

The second important difference is the number sorting. In the small and normal size puzzles the numbers are sorted by length. Since the large puzzle holds more numbers, the numbers are sorted both by length and by orientation. The solver must remain aware that the puzzle solving is somewhat different for the large puzzles. This extra sorting is done mostly for convenience and reduction in difficulty.

A third difference, though not that important, is the color of the form. In order to remind the solver what puzzle size is being worked and eliminate some of the monotony between puzzles, large puzzles have a purple background, small puzzles have a green background, and the normal puzzles have a blue background. These color selections can be customized by the user.

Small Puzzle "Pinwheel"

Normal Puzzle "Shield"
