Tower puzzle with beads

[sonia]

A while ago melannen posted about fabulous twisty puzzles, and it reminded me of this cool tower puzzle I have with six columns of graduated color beads.


One of the things I love about it is the spring-loaded recess for one of the beads, so that the columns look complete when it's solved, but you can also create the needed empty space to move beads around.


I saw a kid doing speed moves on a Rubik's cube in line at Trader Joe's today. Made me smile.

Oh! That's a fascinating puzzle.

It reminds me of the subtle color-matching games on iOS: Blendoku was my entry drug

I've been playing I Love Hue for years now, and yes, the tower puzzle reminds me of that. I liked color spectrums from way back!

Yay rainbow sugar cube icon!
