Puzzles and Games
Roles: puzzle, pieces, solution, solver, rules, pattern, fit
The domain of structured challenges with discoverable solutions — jigsaw puzzles, riddles, crosswords, and logic games. What makes puzzles distinctive as a source domain is the promise of completeness: the pieces exist, they fit together, and the solved state is recognizable. This makes puzzles a compelling but potentially misleading frame for problems that lack clean solutions.
