Large-Print Workshop Nonograms

You would rather be out in the garage, but tonight calls for the armchair. These puzzles build a hammer, a wrench or a tractor one square at a time, with a pencil standing in for the drill.

Each puzzle here is a tool, a machine or a thing from the workshop. Fill in the squares the numbers call for and a workshop picture takes shape, such as a hammer, a wrench, a ladder, a padlock and an anvil. Each one was drafted on a grid for this book, starting with plain, sturdy shapes and working up to a few detailed builds that take some patience.

Specs: 49 pages, US Letter, with every mark at least half an inch from the edge so it prints on A4 as well.
- 4 pages up front: the rules, a hex nut built square by square, and a map of the levels
- 36 puzzles, one per page, by level: 12 Easy (grids from 7 to 14 squares across and 5 to 14 down); 12 Medium (grids from 9 to 15 squares across and 9 to 15 down); 12 Hard (grids from 8 to 15 squares across and 12 to 16 down)
- 6 pages of answer key, six finished pictures per page, numbered and named
- a parts list of all 36 pictures, 2 pages

Built for a pencil: clue numbers are 18 point on every level and the squares measure 0.37 to 0.61 inches, so there is room to work.

A computer solver set the levels by the moves each puzzle took, and it proved every puzzle has a single solution.
- Easy: The three tools on page 3 (overlap, completed lines and edges) are enough for all of these. No grid runs over 14 squares in either direction.
- Medium: All of these need you to try each position a piece could take and fill what every position covers. No test fit needed.
- Hard: 2 of the 12 need a test fit (page 3). The other 10 leave the three tools stuck after fewer than 70% of the squares, and trying each position a piece could take finishes the job.

Every one of the 36 pictures was made for this book and is not used in any other book of ours.
