Vfd #2[edit]
no consensus again per Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/KarlSchererRevisited5. --Woohookitty 07:41, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
A missed one, also.[edit]
There is the "snake and ladder" board game. It is the most basic transport puzzle. But the puzzle here would be a metaphore of the outcome of the pair of die.
Fifteen puzzle[edit]
As in fact is mentioned in the article on the fifteen puzzle, Sam Loyd did not invent it. I'm removing this claim from this article as well. 91.107.171.183 (talk) 23:51, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
Puzzle types[edit]
I have tried to cite the list of types of puzzles but have not found a source for tour puzzles. Mazes and labyrinths are certainly tour puzzles and I can find multiple sources that say Sokoban is both a maze and a transport puzzle, but nothing that makes a more general statement. I can see the logic of having them in transport puzzles - a maze is like a transport puzzle with only one object (the player) being moved whereas transport puzzles more usually have multiple objects.
I am also concerned with the distinction being made between mazes and labyrinths. That strikes me as WP:OR and note there is no article on labyrinth as a puzzle (although there is a board game).
There is no source for train shunting puzzle, but this is so self-evidently a transport puzzle that I think we can keep it in per WP:BLUESKY.
While I have the sources open, here is the list of puzzles that are explicitly mentioned (some of which are not in the article)

- 15 puzzle
- Sliding puzzles
- Rail maze 2 by Spooky House Studios UG
- The fox, the goose, and the bag of beans (river crossing puzzle)
- Girls Like Robots
- Sokoban
- Source: Postma
- Sokoban
- Rush Hour (puzzle)
- Jelly no Puzzle
- Snake Bird
- Zen Puzzle Garden (oddly, also studied in an IEEE paper. That paper also names it as a transport puzzle)
- Source: Jarušek & Pelánek
- Sokoban
- Rush Hour (puzzle)
- Replacement puzzle, a puzzle invented by the mathematician Erich Friedman (known for Friedman number).
