These skilfully sculpted shapes are a wonderful example of how something as simple as a piece of wire can be manipulated into an unusual object of play and intrigue. Over the centuries thousands of different puzzle designs have been invented and made by enthusiasts. The designs below are 7 of the best, each of which has it's own totally different, yet wonderfully elegant solution.


We think the best puzzles are not those that will drive people crazy, but those with a simple solution that are staggeringly difficult to find. For that reason, this one of our top recommendations at puzzlguru.com.
Maze
(Difficult)
£5.00 GBP

Sadly not as easy as ABC. Accessible, yet tricky and similar to The Hive. The handle must be removed.
Alpha
(Very Difficult)
£5.00 GBP


Hive - Similar to The Alpha but with a subtle difference. Another classic style for anyone to enjoy. The handle must be removed.
Hive
(Very Difficult)
£5.00 GBP

The secret here is finding a way to manoeuvre the ring free from the 'U' shaped piece of wire. Perhaps the simplest of the three puzzles in principle, but a simple solution is not always the easiest to find. The uninitiated should expect to be in for the long haul with this little biter.
The Mosquito
(Very Difficult)
£5.00 GBP


Ever gutted a fish before? Negotiating your way through this fish's intestine is codfusing in the extreme. Just when you think you haddock you end up back at the starting plaice! Enough of the chippy chat - your sense of achievement on solving this fishy problem will beat any feeling you could possibly have using a fishing rod and bait. WARNING: This product is not edible.
The Fish
(Extreme)
£5.00 GBP

This is the most difficult wire puzzle we sell. It will always sell well as there are no shortage of vindictive people out there who will happily buy this one to torment their friends and family!
Revolver
(Death By Puzzle)
£5.00 GBP

The ultimate wire puzzle challenge. There may well be more difficult ones out there, but the solution for this maze is wonderfully elegant. Not dis-similar to negotiating inner city traffic, but be assured that this puzzle will not be solved in the time it takes you to drive home! This is the most difficult wire puzzle on the site.
Gridlock
(Death By Puzzle)
£5.00 GBP
