Scramble Squares: Pansies
Here's a flowery version of the Scramble Squares challenge. Easy to Play, but Hard to Solve is  the motto for this deceptively simple-looking puzzle. By the time you've become addicted and find  yourself unable to solve the thing, you'll realize it's not so much a motto as a warning. Nine colorfully  illustrated cardboard 4-by-4-inch squares depict various unfinished images of yellow, white, purple, and  pink pansies along their edges. The images must be matched and the nine squares arranged in a larger  square. An ingenious, elegantly executed puzzle idea, Scramble Squares will have you simultaneously  blessing and cursing its inventor.--Claire Dederer
