The shop
A shop where the puzzles come back.
Wendlepeg is a narrow shop on Linnet Street with new puzzles on the left wall, the swap shelf on the right, and one long table by the window.
It started with a closet.
Bea Ferrante had a hall closet full of finished puzzles and friends who kept asking to borrow them. In 2023 she opened the shop with forty new puzzles and two hundred swaps.
Today the swap shelf holds about six hundred puzzles, and most of them have been finished at least three times.
The house rules
- Lids stay with their puzzles.
- Tell us about missing pieces; nobody minds.
- At the big table, anyone can place any piece.
What we care about
- Puzzles that get finished. A swap puzzle is one that someone else gets to start.
- Honest lids. If pieces are missing, the lid says so.
- A quiet table. The window table is for slow afternoons, not races (except on speed-round nights).
