Cutle

Cutle asks for a single thoughtful slice. An irregular shape waits on the board, and your job is to draw one line that leaves both sides as close to equal as your eye can manage.

What is Cutle?

There is almost no runway here: look at the silhouette, choose an angle, and commit. Cutle turns a familiar classroom idea—splitting a shape in half—into a small pressure cooker for visual balance. A line that feels centered can still leave too much territory on one side, especially when a shape has a stubborn bump, a thin tail, or an off-center pocket of mass. The appeal is in that short pause before the drag. You can scan for symmetry, imagine the shape as weight rather than outline, and decide whether the sensible route is straight through the middle or slightly off at an angle. Then the cut is made and the shape has an answer.

What you can do there

• draw a cut line
• aim for an even split

Why we picked it

Cutle takes one understandable rule and lets the difficulty arrive from the picture itself. It is a compact little test of attention: no vocabulary to know, no long setup, and no obvious shortcut when the silhouette gets weird.

How to get the most from it

Study the whole outline before touching it. Press or click, drag a line completely through the shape, then release. Think about how much filled area sits on each side rather than whether the line looks centered in the frame.
