A common instance includes a page with multiple grids of varying difficulty levels, enabling a gradual progression in skill.

Historically, these puzzles have experienced widespread popularity due to their logical nature, independent of language or cultural barriers. Their use contributes to enhanced concentration, improved logical thinking, and serves as a relaxing pastime, particularly appealing for individuals seeking an offline activity or educators looking for supplementary materials.
