TW (Triangle-W) and HL (Hexagon-L) Puzzles

Laser cut and assembled HL puzzle

Introduction

TW and HL puzzles are both geometric dissection puzzles. They each have seven small pieces, and their boards feature two frames with different shapes. TW’s frame has a triangle on the left and a W pentomino on the right, while HL’s frame has a hexagon on the left and an L pentomino on the right. So, you’ll need to solve two frames per puzzle. That means you can transform the shape of the left frame into the shape of the right frame, and vice versa, using these seven dissected pieces. Just a heads-up: don’t mix up the pieces between the two puzzles—it won’t work! I’d rate these puzzles as medium difficulty.

The laser cut files are available here:

Once you’ve laser cut them, you’ll need to glue the large top frame piece onto the bottom base piece to create the board; and the results are shown in the pictures above.
