ENIGMA PUZZLE SOLUTION

Today we're going through the simplest solution for the Hanayama Enigma puzzle.

The Hanayama Enigma puzzle is a level 6 out of a possible 6 on Hanayama's own difficulty scale, which essentially means that they don't come much tougher than this.

The solution is a sequence of seven moves that are very specific because they involve certain pieces passing over and through each other in order to disassemble each piece.

Hopefully, I've done a good enough job and this Enigma solution is easy to follow along with.

If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments and I'll do my best to help.

Enjoy the Hanayama Enigma solution!

That was the BEST video on YouTube for the solution for this puzzle! Thank you so much!!!!

You won't believe it, I bought this puzzle to entertain myself on a 4 hour flight but ended up being curious and opened it days before my flight. Few minutes into fiddling with it I literally was just wildly flinging it around and at some stage after the first piece pulled apart successfully just by accident 😆 had to watch your video on how to put the pieces back but I managed to accidentally "solve" this grandmaster level puzzle with sheer luck!!!!

The step with "force" is not needed. There is a way to manipulate the tail piece around to get it in the proper position, which i believe to be the intended solution since i have yet to come across any hanayama puzzle that requires any amount of force, including the helix👍

Please help me
I did that mistake in 5:04 and put long tail from the other side and now I can’t solve please help what should i do to solve it ??

OMG I saw a guy on the bus doing this and i asked him what it was. He gave it to me (generous). I found this video and now i see he put it together wrong. But if it went together it must come apart somehow! He has the short tail piece in the wrong hole of the circle piece. Im screwed!
What do I do if it's not assembled correctly?

[Vauge-Nightmare]

thank you so much for this, was stuck for 3 days on it. Cheers man and keep up the great work

[andrewparsley]

Awesome, thanks! I managed to get this one apart, but I used your video to reassemble. Your channel and videos are great!

[maeborowski]

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH IT WAS CLEAR AND HELPFUL i'm happy and joyful now :D

[sistercakes]

Omg thank you so much my dad gave it to me and i was clueless you made it so much easier

Great video. My first time following a video with this puzzle was with The Puzzle Guy and I assembled it backwards. I could not figure out what was going on so ended up buying another one. Thanks for explaining the backward mistake. I now have two working enigma puzzles.

[darrellshoub]

After I got it done, i watched your solution and wow I agree with everyone , you arte THEE best at showing how to do it, the ONLY way too I think . There is a possible second way at a single point but I cannot recall it . Great video ! I think you are probably encouraging people to buy a lot of puzzles, should be sending you a paycheck !

[salarmlock]

I was able to solve it but knew I wasn’t putting it back together correctly. Ur video was very easy to follow. Thanks!

Have you seen the new Hanayama puzzle coming out this month? The Hanayama Slider.. only a level 3, wish it was atleast a 4+ but who knows could still be a challenge! I can’t wait to try it.

[luketrader]

Your descriptions on how to solves all the different Hanayama puzzles are the best on youtube. By far and away the most logical and easiest to follow. (And your room wall paper makes me smile every time without fail!!). Awesome Dude - Peace11

[mesau]

Thanks! Thiis one stumped me. I watched your video on how to take it apart and then put it back together again.

[tinabarnes]

can you do a vid of how to take it apart when the long tail piece has been put on backwards? I cannot figure out how to reverse the steps

I disassembled it, now im stuck cause i accidently switch around the circle part and i cant get it unlocked anymore, to get into the proper starting Position

I'm new to the Huzzle puzzle world and your video solutions are always a very big help that I can usually follow well. With this Enigma puzzle, however, I found that in the end, solving the last two elements works without that slight pressing motion over the long puzzle part. I also think that this never has to be the case if the puzzle is to be solved correctly. In this case, it is in any case possible to solve every piece from each other without any kind of slight force.

[Xitium]

The step where you need a bit of force doesn't really require force if you turn it and do it just a bit differently. I feel that not forcing it is better. Great video tho!
