For
People building physical tile puzzles at home or in classrooms
Worth noticing
The square tray uses a 12 × 12 grid; star patterns come in 45-large-tile and 80-small-tile versions.

Field notes

Each tray has its own pattern collection and tile geometry: the triangle alternates tile directions, the star joins five diamonds at the center, and the hex uses trapezoids. On square and triangle patterns, row letters and numbers help locate pieces; users can mark finished patterns with built ticks. The site also offers logic puzzles and two-player challenges, while its physical trays are described as 3D-printed.
