Veil (interference) — printable puzzles
8 positions · one motif · answer key at the end
In short: 8 puzzles on one motif (veil (interference)), ready to print with a single keyboard shortcut. Every position comes from the training on this site and is checked programmatically, and the answer key sits at the end of the sheet.
How do I print this sheet?
Press Ctrl+P (Cmd+P on a Mac) and choose portrait orientation and 100% scale. You do not need any file to download: the header, menu and footer do not print, so the page keeps only the diagrams, with the answer key on a separate sheet.
Who are these puzzles for?
The sheet is built from a single motif (veil (interference)), so it fits a lesson where you practise one thing at a time. Solving 8 positions on the same pattern in a row works better than a mixed set, because it trains pattern recognition rather than calculation alone.
Can I use these sheets in a class?
Yes. The sheet is free, needs no account and carries no watermark, and the positions are our own — generated and verified programmatically, not copied from textbooks. One request: keep the footer with the address if you hand out copies.
