I-Drudles (i-puzzle yokuthuthukisa umcabango nokudala) yimisebenzi lapho udinga ukuqagela ukuthi yini eboniswa esithombeni. Isisekelo se-drudle singaba ama-scribbles nama-blots.
I-Drudle ayisona isithombe esiphelile esidinga ukucatshangelwa noma siqedwe. Impendulo engcono kakhulu yileyo abantu abambalwa abacabanga ngayo ngokushesha, kodwa uma usuyizwile, ikhambi libonakala lisobala. Okwangempela kanye namahlaya kwaziswa ngokukhethekile.
Ngokusekelwe ezithombeni ezingakaqedwa (izithombe ezingahunyushwa ngezindlela ezihlukene), u-Roger Pierce waseMelika uqhamuke nomdlalo wephazili obizwa ngokuthi i-droodle.
Mhlawumbe uyasikhumbula kusukela ebuntwaneni lesi sithombe esiyimfumbe esiwuchungechunge oluthi “Yini edwetshiwe lapha?” Kubonakala sengathi idwetshwa umbhedo - uhlobo oluthile lwemigqa, onxantathu. Kodwa-ke, umuntu kufanele athole impendulo kuphela, futhi imidwebo yento yangempela iqagelwa ngokushesha kuma-squiggles angaqondakali.
Abalandeli be-drudle puzzle abakhawulelwe empendulweni eyodwa. Iphuzu lendida iwukucosha izinguqulo nezincazelo eziningi ngangokunokwenzeka. Kuhle ukukhumbula ukuthi ayikho impendulo efanele kuma-drudles. Owinile nguye oza nokutolika okuningi noma umdlali oza nempendulo engajwayelekile.
I-Drudles ingumdlalo wephazili wayo yonke iminyaka. Kulula ukuqala imidlalo ngama-drudles angenalutho, lapho into eyaziwayo iqagelwa kahle. Kungcono uma isithombe sinemininingwane encane. Sicela uqaphele ukuthi ukuze ukhuthaze umcabango, kungcono ukwenza ama-puzzle ngombala omnyama nomhlophe.
