As in transport puzzles, in shuffling puzzles no piece is ever lost or added.
Typically all pieces are given at the outset as a specific board situation. The player has to achieve a certain end configuration though swapping of sets of tokens (like two rows or two columns) or moving them from one place to another.
In contrast to transport puzzles, however, there are no routes given on a board that have to be followed. Tokens can be lifted off the board and placed at positions far away and without any visible connection to the from-position.
Many... Palindrome Puzzles
This type of puzzle is called a "palindrome". A palindrome is a word, phrase, verse, or sentence which reads the same backward or forward. The one above goes a step further, since it also reads the same upside down when written in capital letters.

Some tiling puzzles ask you to dissect a given shape first and then rearrange the pieces into another shape. Other tiling puzzles ask you to dissect a given shape while fulfilling certain conditions. The two latter types of tiling puzzles are also called dissection puzzles.
Tiling puzzles may be made from wood, metal, cardboard, plastic or any other sheet-materi... Computer puzzle game is a genre of computer games that emphasize puzzle solving. The types of puzzles involved can involve logic, strategy, pattern recognition, sequence solving, word completion or, in some cases, just pure luck.
Before there ever were video games (as we would recognise them) there were jigsaw puzzles and the Rubik's Cube, today's puzzle game forefathers. The genre can be difficult to describe: the gameplay is usually abstract (but not always) often involving arranging geometric shapes to fulfil some goal or constraint. Often edge matching or colour matching plays an important role. Puzzle games usually strive to have a p... A logic puzzle is a puzzle deriving from the mathematics field of deduction.
This branch was pioneered by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, who is better known under his pseudonym Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. In his book The Game of Symbolic Logic he introduced a game to solve problems such as

The eight queens puzzle is the problem of putting eight chess queens on an 8×8 chessboard such that none of them is able to capture any other using the standard chess queen's moves. (Piece colour is ignored, and any piece is assumed to be able to attack any other). That is to say, no two queens should share the same row, column, or diagonal. This is an example of an n queens puzzle for placing n queens on an n×n chessboard.
