Simple Machines (xkcd game jam 2017 entry)
Having trouble? Hints and walkthrough here.
Chrome recommended, but tested on Firefox as well.
In principle it works on mobile, but this is not recommended, because you'll need to be able to click precisely.
Your job is to follow the instructions that are written using the 1000 most common English words. This idea was taken from xkcd's Up Goer Five, and Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe.
Use this tool if you want to see which words this includes.

Totally stuck at level 9. Maybe that's the point? Totally worth it though. Well done!
What a curious and cool game!
I played until I finished level 7, which was extremely hard for me. Spoiler: it wasn't clear to me that I had to return the spring AFTER making all the instructions; perhaps using the word ALL would help? Even on easy, I had a bit of trouble.
