Griddlers are amusing tests of skill and logic. The aim is to discover the picture hidden by the grid by filling in some squares as solids and the remainder with dots using your powers of deduction. There are numbers attached to each grid and they tell you how many squares are to be filled in—all you have to do is deduce which ones!

2.0 out of 5 stars
The worst of the bunch,
By
This review is from: The Sunday Telegraph First Book of Griddlers (Paperback)
I love this type of puzzle, and I've tried many of the variations that are available on this site. This one is by far the worst. The paper is unacceptable for a pencil puzzle. It's much too thin and gray, and the pencil marks don't show up well. The book is also too small, so it's hard to hold the pages open. The puzzles are too easy, and the pictures don't really look like anything.
If you like this type of puzzle, there are better options available. My favorites are the two Pixel Puzzle books. (I wish they'd make more!) The paper is strong and white, the book is wire bound, the pictures are large and sharp-looking, and you'll get many more hours of puzzling fun.

Good size for packing along.,

This review is from: The Sunday Telegraph First Book of Griddlers (Paperback)
I just read the previous review and I find I like this book for all the opposite reasons. I like this size. It fits into my pocketbook ready to pull out any time I'm waiting. I don't use pencils for puzzles, but I did try a pencil and agree that the pencil does not show up well. I prefer a fine point ball point and this paper is good for it. I like a paperback like this because I tear out the puzzles when they're complete and toss them.
As to the puzzles themselves: they a nice size -- most are 30x35. They're challenging without being impossible. Very few are easy.

This review is from: The Sunday Telegraph First Book of Griddlers (Paperback)
I love these kinds of puzzles, but was very unhappy with this book. The paper is awful. If you're using a pencil you have to push down so hard it often tears through the paper. Also, the solutions in the back are difficult to see since the grid isn't visible. It's very hard to find where you've gone wrong if you make a mistake. For the price I think they could have used a better quality of paper.
