metal puzzle
Twisted wire conundrum
A metal puzzle is a mechanical puzzle made of interlocking metal pieces—rings, nails, horseshoes, or abstract shapes—that must be separated or reassembled through manipulation.
Unlike jigsaw puzzles, the challenge is spatial reasoning and dexterity rather than pattern matching: She spent twenty minutes trying to free the two rings from the metal puzzle.
Common types include disentanglement puzzles and cast puzzles.
