How to print and solve

  1. Choose the Puzzle PDF for your paper. Select the matching paper size and Actual size / 100% in your print dialog.
  2. Measure the footer check line: it should be 50 mm. Fit-to-page can change the printed number size.
  3. Connect consecutive numbers within one range at a time. C means connect the last point back to the first point of that range. O means stop at its last point. Lift your pen between every range; never bridge ranges.
  4. Keep each wing outline separate from its inner vein. Close only the ranges marked C, stop at the end of O ranges, and lift your pen before the next range; never bridge the gaps between parts.

Physical A4 and Letter printing and independent human full-solve are NOT TESTED. Printer margins vary. This is not a verified large-print resource; age suitability and solve time are unmeasured.
