COMMENTS: 4L is one of my favorite puzzles ever and I"m glad to finally have permission to make them available on Cubicdissection. It was awarded an Honorable Mention at IPP 2015 and is FAR trickier than it looks. The goal is to pack the four L shaped pieces into a very simple box. There are two different types of L piece (fat and thin) and several ways they could fit. The final solution is so creative and tricky I don't want to say more for fear of giving hints.

Construction of this puzzle is very nice indeed, with beautifully splined mitered edges and a smooth yet generous fit that will work in any climate.

Perfect Packing Puzzle

Definitely one of my all time favorites. No complicated pieces, just 4 simple shapes. And yet the solution is surprisingly difficult to find and has a fantastic aha-moment. The production quality makes this puzzle really satisfying to play with, everything fits perfectly and is made from beautiful wood.

My favourite packing puzzle

Only 4 L shaped pieces (obviously) but so difficult. But no so difficult it becomes over frustrating. And as always beautifully crafted. Definitely a keeper.
