The puzzle is to disentangle and re-entangle the parts of the 3d puzzle or brain teaser. These puzzles can be broadly described as string puzzles or rope puzzles; as they often have wooden parts they are also sometimes categorised in the wooden puzzle section. The essential ingredient is that the puzzle is to take apart some element of the puzzle. Similar disentanglement puzzles can also be found both the Metal Disentanglement category and the Metal Disentanglement Hanayama puzzles category but these are metal puzzles or cast puzzles, nothing made of wood.
