This little puzzle was easier (and thus more enjoyable) than I expected. It’s one of those thinly-made ones that probably won’t hold up to much handling, with the boring piece cut all the same (two knobs / two holes every one sans the edges. However I noticed that all the pieces with a horizontal orientation were slightly stockier, and the vertical ones narrower, so from that alone could figure out the alignment of most. There were some false fits, but it wasn’t too hard to correct myself. Far less frustrating than I usually find these kind of puzzles. I don’t know if that’s from experience, or how much I just wanted to do a simple puzzle, or if this one was a bit better than the others in those regards.

Funny note: after I finished this puzzle, I traded it at a library swap shelf. At several more visits to that branch, I saw this puzzle still on the swap shelf. Third or fourth time I went, it was gone- someone else took it home. Today I came across what I swear is the exact same little puzzle, at the second local Goodwill (I bought it at the first Goodwill- we have two in town now). I wonder how many more hands it will pass through . . .
