FAQ

What counts as a wooden brain teaser puzzle?

Most wooden brain teasers are interlocking builds, burrs, puzzle balls, and lock puzzles that require spatial reasoning and patient sequencing instead of speed.

Is a T puzzle the same thing as a cube puzzle?

Many T puzzle challenges are cube builds made from T-shaped pieces. The goal is assembling a tight cube with no gaps.

Are puzzle lock boxes and trick boxes good gifts?

Yes. A puzzle lock box or trick box feels like a hands-on reveal. Choose beginner-friendly mechanisms if it is a first wooden puzzle.

What is the width and height of a 4x4 Rubik's cube?

Dimensions vary by brand and model. Check the product listing for the exact width and height.

How do I pick a difficulty level?

Start with a mixed set or a simple burr if you are new. Add lock puzzles or multi-step balls once you want longer solve times.

Are wooden brain teasers good for screen-free time?

They can be a satisfying, screen-free activity. Choose shorter builds for quick breaks and more complex locks for longer sessions.
