Chander's Quartet (5x12) – Intermediate Take Apart Puzzle
Chander’s Quartet is a clever interlocking puzzle designed by Yaroslav Manuilov (Chander). This smaller 5x12 version offers an approachable yet satisfying mechanical challenge built around a unique cross-shaped frame and four internal sliders.
The puzzle consists of a central frame with four sliders that interlock within it. In the solved state, all components sit cleanly inside the frame with no protrusions. The goal is to discover the correct sequence of movements to release each slider—and then return them to their original positions.
While more accessible than its larger counterpart, this version still requires thoughtful manipulation and careful observation. The interaction between the sliders creates subtle constraints that make for a rewarding solve without becoming overwhelming.
