Looking for an easy-to-print visual puzzle? These black and white hexomino challenges are designed to work especially well on paper, while still being playable directly on the page.
Each puzzle contains a group of different hexomino shapes, but one of them appears twice. Your task is to study the pattern carefully and identify the duplicate hexomino.
Can You Find the Matching Hexomino?
Take a close look at all the shapes and compare their outlines.
A hexomino can be rotated into a different position and still represent exactly the same shape. Because of this, the matching pair may not look identical at first sight.
Try to discover the duplicate before checking the solution.
Each puzzle also has its own number, so you can easily refer to a particular challenge, share it with someone else, or find it again later.

Start by searching for the duplicate hexomino. Once the puzzle is solved, you can color the individual shapes and create your own version of the pattern.

What Is a Hexomino?
A hexomino is a geometric figure made from six equally sized squares connected edge to edge.
There are 35 different free hexominoes when rotations and mirrored versions are treated as the same shape.
Some hexominoes have very distinctive outlines, while others can become surprisingly difficult to recognize after they have been rotated. This makes them particularly well suited for matching and duplicate-finding puzzles.
