Random Tangle Pattern Generator Notes
The following tangles were removed from the Random Tangle Pattern Generator. The reason why they were removed is because there are no sufficient step-outs for them online. Either tutorials for the tangle don’t exist at all or the only tutorials available online are questionable. It’s poor user experience to receive an unfamiliar tangle from the Random Tangle Generator only to discover very little useful information about it online.
- Bumper
- Cogwheel
- Dingsplatz
- Dribbetz
- Evoke
- Floo
- Frondous
- Glace
- Gust
- Hazen
- Isochor
- Kathy’s Dilemma
- Kule
- Orlique
- Raddox
- Scarabou
- Scoodle
- Snail
- Tidal
- Tidings
- Twing
- Vermal
- Warble
- Xircus
The following tangles were combined together because they are very similar to each other. It’s not statistically fair to allow what is essentially the same tangle to have two slots in the generator instead of one.
- Amaze / Stiritup
- Ambler or Emingle
- Chainging or Punzel
