Hidden Bangles
Sort the bangles while the ones underneath stay hidden until you uncover them.
Sort the bangles while the ones underneath stay hidden until you uncover them.
Twenty bangles in five colours sit four to a stand on five stands, with two empty stands to work with. Only the top colour on each stand shows: the bangles beneath stay veiled until the ones above them move, and once you've seen a bangle it stays in view. Lift and place them as in Bangle Sort, onto the same colour or an empty stand, until every stand holds four of one colour. Hint always knows a way through, hidden bangles and all.
This second-trimester version adds a little curiosity: every few moves a hidden bangle comes into view, and it's fun to wonder which colour will turn up next. Like the other bangle games, it's a calm puzzle shared for the joy of the colours, not as a health practice. If you'd rather not guess, Hint shows a good next move, and a helper stand is always on hand.
