Match Puzzles


You can do more with matches than just strike them. You can play lots of fun games with Matches. Some people construct the most beautiful objects by glueing thousands of matches together.

There are also match construction puzzles which do not use glue. These puzzles are often surprisingly difficult, as you will see if you try the two puzzles illustrated here.

For the above puzzle you will need 114 matches and for the bridge opposite you will need 18 long matches. Lots of patience and a steady hand are also essential.

Further, there are the well-known trick match puzzles, in which matches have to be repositioned and/or removed.
