Edge Match Put-Together Puzzles

These puzzles all involve matching the edges of the pieces to fill a region or create a specific structure. Technically jigsaw puzzles are edge match puzzles, but I am going to have jigasaw puzzles as a separate category. Usually edge match puzzles involve pieces that are squares, hexagons, or equilateral triangles. There are also 3-dimensional versions of edge match puzzles.
