Tile puzzles ☕
The tile puzzles each consist of a set of six or more tiles, each tile coloured with a maze like pathway. Your challenge is to reposition the tiles so that the pathways all join up leaving no loose ends. You must use all the tiles, but the final shape is unrestricted.
New for 2020: the duplex-dilemma challenge ☕
Goal
Arrange the tiles so the paths form a closed network with no loose ends (any shape permitted).
