One day I did a search for "tangrams" on the 'net. I couldn't find what I wanted, which was a good collection of figures. Hmmm...! What a perfect opportunity for a beginning web page builder with an interest in tangrams ... :-)

I hope you enjoy these Tangram puzzles, they have entertained me many times, places and ways. If you have a silhouette to contribute, a new site or have just been entertained, please, e-me below. Thanks to all the people who have already sent me figures to add to the collection.

Holy cow! Who would have thought? I made it into the newspaper, on to TV and ended up helping put together a Tangram puzzle package for Carlton Books of England. Unexpected rewards for playing around with this site. BTW, thanks for all the kind comments from those people who have written me. Screenshot

Finally, a few credits are due. If I missed anyone, again, e-me and it will be fixed.

To heck with numbers,
