  • Paint by Pairs Puzzle

Today’s puzzle will create a picture! Connect numbers with lines, and then shade them in, leaving only cells without numbers or lines empty.

  • Numbers indicate the total length of the line, including the cells containing the number.
  • A 1 cell has no pairing. It’s shaded by itself.
  • Lines travel only in orthogonal directions. They may turn 90 degrees as many times as needed, but will not cross themselves or any other path
  • There is only one unique way to use all the numbers. Not all cells will be used.
  • Don’t forget – shading used cells reveals the picture!

Yes, your goal is still to create a single looping path that passes through all cells. However, this time, you’re drawing the walls, not the path.

Boxing Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, usually the day after Christmas. Originally, it was the day that alms boxes were opened, and the contents distributed among the poor. Today, some of that spirit remains, but it’s also a shopping holiday similar to Black Friday. Naturally, it seemed a good fit for a Fold-a-Box puzzle. Draw walls to create pentominoes to box up the various gifts.
