Zahlensalat – Advanced Wooden Number Arrangement Puzzle by Siebenstein-Spiele

Zahlensalat (German for “Number Salad”) is a visually clever wooden arrangement puzzle from Siebenstein-Spiele that challenges you to bring numerical order back from chaos. The uniquely shaped pieces resemble stylized digits, creating a puzzle where logic, rotation, and careful observation all play a critical role.

After mixing the pieces, your task is to place them back into the frame so the numbers align correctly and form a clean, consistent pattern across the board. While many placements appear correct at first glance, subtle shape differences quickly reveal mistakes — making this puzzle far more challenging than it initially appears.
