Riddle-Lover
What It Points To
Section titled “What It Points To”Drawn to solo verbal-logical play with concealed structure — riddles, cryptics, puzzles whose solver enjoys the seen-after structure as much as the solving. Sits with construction in solitude. Recognizable in the kid who handed adults riddles harder than the adults’ own work.
Integration property: Makes puzzles where the work of solving and the structure that shows up after are both the gift
