Well I can safely say that no I cannot solve all 3 in one hour. I can't even solve one in one hour. Actually I haven't solved one at all!

So you have 13 pieces and somehow they fit together differently to make the letters "W", "H" and "Y". You're even given a grid for each letter to help guide you.

I have definitely found this very challenging! What I love is that it is the sort of puzzle that I can leave out (of toddler reach) and keep fiddling with it whenever I walk past. While it is infuriating it's also intriguing enough to keep going. I also like that once I've finished the first letter there are still 2 others to drive me totally batty.

I suspect too that this will have more "re-playability" than some of the other Dr Wood puzzles. Perhaps timed competitions between me and the hubby could make it fun!

In the meantime, as I'm apparently not allowed to file pieces off to make them fit, I'm going to keep trying to make the letter "W".
