W Dilemma Puzzle features 15 "W" shaped pieces and 5 unit cubes for 17 block-building challenges. The hardest? Forming a 4x4x5 cube using all 20 pieces. Each W is made from two contrasting hardwoods like mahogany and maple (woods vary). Beautiful, tactile, and brain-bending, this puzzle makes a striking coffee table game and a fun mental workout.

Recognition. The W Dilemma Puzzle was featured by the New York Times Wordplay blog in January 2016, in a post by NYT puzzle editor Gary Antonick about Col. George Sicherman's designs. Creative Crafthouse received the design from Col. Sicherman and produced the wooden puzzle from concept to finished product in one week. Founder Dave Janelle described the rapid turnaround to NYT directly: "We did the whole thing from presentation of idea to finished product in one week. That is unusually fast." Read the post.

Zoe ★★★★★

The contrasting hardwoods on each W piece look sharp on my coffee table, and the weight feels solid without being clunky. I've only solved 6 of the 17 challenges so far — the 4x4x5 cube is genuinely brutal, which is exactly what I wanted.

Robert V. ★★★★★

I picked this up thinking the 4x4x5 cube would take an afternoon, and three days later I'm still rearranging those 15 W pieces and 5 cubes. The contrasting hardwoods make it genuinely nice to leave out on the coffee table.

Charlotte M. ★★★★★

The contrasting hardwoods make each W piece a joy to handle, and the puzzle offers a great mix of difficulty. I've already solved half the challenges and keep coming back for more.
