Tiling puzzle

Tiling puzzles are puzzles involving two-dimensional packing problems in which a number of flat shapes have to be assembled into a larger given shape without overlaps (and often without gaps).

Other tiling puzzles ask players to dissect a given shape while fulfilling certain conditions.

Tiling puzzles may be made from wood, metal, cardboard, plastic or any other sheet-material.

Many tiling puzzles are now available as computer games.

Tiling puzzles have a long history.
