The authors study how people reuse helpers in visual pattern-building puzzles. In the Pattern Builder Task, participants store intermediate constructions as building blocks, while a computational model adds completed solution programs to its vocabulary online. Across 30 participants, model-estimated search complexity correlated with human time and steps; final-program length did not reliably predict either. This does not show helpers caused faster solving.
