Puzzle & Thinking Games · 65

Nonograms encode pictures as number clues along rows and columns, turning image-making into a process of deduction rather than drawing. Constraint puzzles become readable when information overlaps. One clue narrows possibilities; several clues crossing the same area can force a single answer. The final piece always looks much more obvious after it is in the correct place.

A quick detour

Tetris was created by Alexey Pajitnov in Moscow in 1984 while he worked at a computing center of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Its name combines a reference to four-part shapes with Pajitnov's fondness for tennis. And for something completely different: The Soma cube was invented by Piet Hein in 1933. Seven irregular pieces, each made from small cubes, can be assembled into a larger cube and many other shapes,a three-dimensional cousin of tangram-style thinking.
