Santa Wonder Puzzle Instructions:

This game is a special Christmas version of an old puzzle called "Grandpa's Wonder Puzzle" patented in 1911 by A.K. Rankin and used to advertise Grandpa's Wonder Soap.

The idea of the game is simple - you need to drag and drop the cards shown below the grid into the 3x3 grid and arrange them so that each corner does not touch another corner with the same colour. In other words, the centre contains circles made of a red, green, blue and yellow quarter circle, the edges must have two different coloured corners side to side to form a semi-circle and the corners have a single colour (it may be the same in more that one corner).

When all the cards are in the grid in the correct order, then Dixie will appear. If you get it wrong, a message will tell you so.
