Comparison of Puzzle Brands

Puzzles from each of the following 34 brands have been used at least once in our Speed Puzzling contests. 
  • ​As of 7/31/23, we have used 174 different puzzles for our contests.
  • Piece thicknesses were measured using an electronic digital caliper.  For better accuracy, I divided the thickness of a stack of 10 pieces by 10.
  • Also included is the country where each brand is manufactured.
