LEGO Puzzles

Eric C. Harshbarger (2001-11-22, ericharshbarger.org)

My set of LEGO Pentominoes was just the beginning. This page exhibits more brain-teasing mechanical puzzles all built out of LEGO bricks. Most of the puzzles were inspired by classic puzzles that have been available in the past, but I had never seen them built out of LEGO pieces.

Jagged 1x1 Bricks

Interesting textures

Péter Ittzés (2015-06-01, flickr.com)

All of these texture samples were created with the same technique. The tolerance of LEGO bricks allows for a slight rotation of bricks that are placed right next to eachother, thus creating an interesting ‘jagged’ texture, that’s cool looking from the top and the side as well.

Cheese Clipped To Quarter Round Fences

To make the circle taller, you don’t need more fence pieces; you just need to replace the 1x2 plates with longer plates. You will need more cheese slopes though.

How to make a regular pentagon from technic bricks

Michael Verschaeve (2023-08-03, bricks.stackexchange.com)

Another response I got in another FB group is that this constructions works quite well. I tried it and they are correct, the pentagon is rigid and the elements do not seem under undue stress.

Cheese Clipped To Octagonal Bar Holder

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

6-by-6 octagon technique

Christian Rau (2022-10-09, flickr.com)

This is a little tutorial for the 6-wide regular octagon technique, built by clipping cheese slopes sideways into one or more 2x2 modified plates with octagonal bar frame. It’s not very complicated and I’m probably not the first one to ever come up with this technique, but I really like it and have used it quite a few times by now.

Alter Lego (2025-01-06, flickr.com)

As a general rule, it’s impossible to connect the sides of a regular polygon to its center in a legal way, since the apothem is always irrational (with the exception of the 4-sided polygon: a square). However, you can get pretty close sometimes, in fact close enough to work well.

In the series so far, I’ve covered some of the most common SNOT elements and techniques for how to use them. But many new SNOT elements have been introduced to the LEGO system since then, so I think it’s time to make an update on some of the more interesting elements released during the last few years.

#2263 TECHNIQUES: 3×3 Cube by @the_legobuilder

Alex Johnson (2024-01-07, tipsandbricks.com)

Frequently, LEGO designers sacrifice true scale in official sets for the sake of playability. A prime example of this is in the Minecraft theme, where the “block” is far too small to represent an in-game block when compared to a minifigure. @the_legobuilder fixes this problem, creating a perfect 3×3 cube that is significantly more true to scale.

Strengthened angle

Péter Ittzés (2015-07-29, flickr.com)

The angle is a bit smaller than 45 degrees (so it’s techniclly forced). It’s very sturdy. You can also use 2x1 plates with clip and handle if you want.[Rendered in Bluerender.]

Linus Bohman (2017-09-03, swooshable.com)

A more compact version of the inverted bracket brick can be created by using a hinge. The other is 2x3 studs, this is 2x2 - both enable 180 degree snot.

1xn Technic bricks allow stud-in SNOT with a lateral 10 LDU (half-stud) offset but, due to overlapping effect, only with smaller parts. The 1x1 Technic brick and 1x2 Technic brick with 2 holes (AZMEP Technic bricks) are noticeable exceptions.

Die Straße ist aus 255x “Technic, Axle and Pin Connector” entstanden (16x16 minus 1 (dort, wo der Baum steht)). Die werden dann im 90°-Winkel aneinandergesteckt, was recht straff geht und die legotypischen Toleranzen schon auf kurzen Längen ausreizt.

Dan (2010-10-25, flickr.com)

This technique is a great way of stretching rare colors. For various reasons, LEGO hasn’t made many types of parts in dark tan, dark pink, sand blue, sand green, etc, but you can get the 1x2 slope in large quantities for reasonable prices in any of those colors (and many more - the colors shown here are what I had handy). Anything that lets you use a rare color cheaply is great in my book.

Another option for swoofty

Mike Pianta (2010-03-27, flickr.com)

A simple option for swoofty. It’s about two plates shallower than the original version. Sliding the plates with clips along to the other end of the slopes makes the whole thing about one plate wider but removes the need to deal with the plate at the narrow end of the last slope.

Don Rogerson (2010-08-22, flickr.com)

Fitting plates onto the underside of arches is not a new technique, but the 1x5x4 arch presents an interesting geometry. When the plates are placed snugly together, they form 15° angles. This is an angle that is otherwise difficult to achieve with LEGO bricks, especially if it must be repeated in the same plane.

Technic 1x1 brick and the half stud pin come rapidly to an equivalent (and unavailable) brick 1x1 with one stud on the side. In fact, every Technic brick equipped with half pin is a potential SNOT part.
