Type-5: SEQUENTIAL MOVEMENT PUZZLES
(a) Solitaire: These are puzzles that play like a game, but you
play by yourself. Typically, they are games where you jump
pegs over other pegs and try to leave one remaining.
(b) Sequencer: These are puzzles on which you have to perform a
sequence of moves to solve. Usually, you know what the
moves are but have to figure out the proper order in which
to make them.
(c) Sliding Block: Your classic sliding block puzzle is a flat
square with space for 16 (4x4) little squares, but leaves
one of the 16 empty. You have to slide the other 15 around
(you can only move one at a time) until you arrange them
to make a picture or something. There are many variaions
on this, but the idea is usually the same.
(d) Rotating Shape: This is where Rubik's cube fits in. These
puzzles are usually cubes, pyramids, spheres, or something
geometric, and you usually have to rotate them to get colors
or numbers lined up.
(e) Maze & Route: These are puzzles that involve a maze.
