Summary

Hexagonal tiling puzzles with daily different goals

  • Arrange the pieces so that cells of your preferred day are visible.
  • You can enjoy the puzzle every day. It has daily different goals.
  • I confirmed there is at least one solution for every case.
  • The smaller versions can be solved without flipping pieces, so you can enjoy the puzzle three times every day.
  • UPDATE : Web service (61 cells, 43 cells ver.1, 43 cells ver.2) to get hints and solutions is provided.

There are three versions with different difficulty levels

  • 61 cells : difficult version with cells of months, dates and days of the week. There are blank cells to fill the board.
  • 43 cells ver.1: relatively easier and smaller version with 43 cells of months and dates. No blank cells.
  • 43 cells ver.2 : less symmetry (= more independent filling patterns), the easiest version.

Smaller versions (43cells ver.1 and 2) are solvable even if the pieces are not reversed.

  • You can enjoy the puzzles three times a day. 1st : using both sides, 2nd : a single side only, 3rd : all pieces reversed
  • Print all pieces with two layers (different colors on top and bottom).
  • That might make the puzzle more difficult.

The difficulty of this puzzle is relatively high, and not for kids I think. Typically the larger version might take around 10 - 60 min to solve by adults.

note : If you use "piece43.stl" for "board43-ver2.stl", there are some unsolvable days. Please use "piece43-ver2.stl" for "board43-ver2.stl". (Contrary, you can use "piece43-ver2.stl" for "board43.stl".)
