Here you get two puzzles in one. The first objective is to remove the small nuts by disassembling the nutcase. For another challenge, try changing the order of the wording on the bolts from "nut-case" to "case-nut." This is a Level 6 (Master) puzzle that requires very clever thinking.

Julian H. ★★★★★

Wasn't expecting the second challenge of rearranging the letters on the bolts from "nut-case" to something else, that twist kept me busy way longer than the first part. The little nuts are deceptively stubborn to remove, which is exactly what I wanted. Solid little brain teaser for the price.

Nicholas ★★★★★

Didn't expect the second challenge to be harder than taking the nuts off — rearranging the wording on the bolts had me stuck way longer. The whole thing fits in my palm, so it's been living in my jacket pocket for waiting rooms. Genuinely two puzzles for the price of one.

William C. ★★★★★

The first puzzle took me almost twenty minutes, twisting off each tiny nut without stripping the threads, and reversing the bolt order to spell something new is a whole separate challenge. Genuinely tricky little desk toy for the price.
