Match Tip Puzzles

 

In all Match Tip Puzzles there are two rules;

 

a) To make a Match Tip Pattern  match ends of the same kind must touch, “Heads” must touch “Heads” and “Tails” touch “Tails”

 

b) There must be no loose ends, all the matches must touch another match at both ends

 

Here is an example of a Match Tip Pattern with four matches
