Tavern Nail and Wire Puzzles

Slide and turn bent iron until the piece comes free.

About this game

A 3D mechanical puzzle inspired by the bent-nail and wire disentanglement puzzles of inn and pub tables. Slide and turn a loose ring, hook or nail, look round the lit metal, and find the angle where the iron lets it through. Thirty levels, a daily puzzle, hints that explain and Watch and Learn.

How to play

  1. Carry every loose piece out of the dashed zone round the iron frame.
  2. Drag a piece to slide it, or tap the Slide buttons for X, Y and Z.
  3. Tap the Turn buttons to swing a piece a quarter about an axis.
  4. Drag the empty mat to look round the puzzle from any side.
  5. Tap Think for the next move and why, or Watch and Learn to see one solved.
