Pin — printable puzzles

10 positions · one motif · answer key at the end

In short: 10 puzzles on one motif (pin), 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 (pin), so it fits a lesson where you practise one thing at a time. Solving 10 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.
