Catalogue of Polynars

A polynar is a figure made of equal squares joined at edges or half edges. Here I show all the polynars of orders 1 through 4.

Two-sided polynars may be rotated and reflected. One-sided polynars may be rotated but not reflected.

Polynars were first studied by László Molnár. Previously, around 2004, Saturo Natsuki (夏木智) invented some puzzles using pieces made with three cubes—three-dimensional trinars.
