In a puzzle, the solver is expected to put pieces together (or take them apart) in a logical way, in order to find the solution of the puzzle. There are different genres of puzzles, such as crossword puzzles, word-search puzzles, number puzzles, relational puzzles, and logic puzzles. The academic study of puzzles is called enigmatology.
A complex Baguenaudier puzzle. The goal is to free the string. The "mini rope bridge puzzle". The goal is to remove the two rings. (solution shown). Wire-and-string puzzles usually consist of: one piece of string, ribbon or similar, which may form a closed loop or which may have other pieces like balls fixed to its end. one or several pieces of ...

A simple solution for the toy puzzle is to alternate moves between the smallest piece and a non-smallest piece. When moving the smallest piece, always move it to the next position in the same direction (to the right if the starting number of pieces is even, to the left if the starting number of pieces is odd).
A solution is guaranteed (as long as the puzzle is valid). Solving time is mostly unrelated to degree of difficulty. [dubious – discuss] The algorithm (and therefore the program code) is simpler than other algorithms, especially compared to strong algorithms that ensure a solution to the most difficult puzzles.
