I call this puzzle "No 3 in a Row" The goal is to place all six chips on the board and not have three in a row in any direction. Each chip has to be in its own square. The example above shows an incorrect solution. There are three chips in a row.
On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being extremely difficult to solve, I would give this puzzle a 2 or a 3. If you do not want to know the solution then do not click the next link. Do not look at the last page of the instructions.
I probably made this pattern a bit more difficult to cut than it deserves. I was trying to make it look nice. The letters and numbers are pretty small and could be replaced with printed text or just left off.
Without the text, it is a 30-minute project. With the text, you can triple that time.
