Descripción

Rotate the blocks such that the letter A through I show up on each side of the snake. No letter can be repeated on a side. A unique Creative Crafthouse designed puzzle with Alpha logic by Ken Irvine of New Jersey.
The snake is about 5 1/2"" in length and stays in one piece. The blocks are deeply and permanently laser engraved. They turn on a strong nylon bungee cord. The 9 block model here has over 64,000 permutations. We believe there is 1 correct solution, though that is not verified yet.
There is also a 7 block Alpha snake available. It is less difficult, but not easy, with over 4,000 possible permutations of the snake.
