Trihex – The Puzzle Pieces
The Trihex grid consists of two geometric shapes: regular hexagons and equilateral triangles.
Each puzzle piece consists of one hexagon with zero to six triangles attached.
This gives 14 different puzzle pieces. Twelve are mirror-symmetric. The two remaining pieces are asymmetric mirror images of each other.
