About The Puzzled Co. by Waterjet Works
The Puzzled Co. by Waterjet Works was started by Philip Einsohn, a former early-childhood educator turned Waterjet design expert. In 1977, Philip struggled to find educational puzzles that were inclusive of both sighted and visually impaired students. He began crafting wood learning puzzles for his classroom and was one of the first to create braille puzzles for children. He jump-started The Puzzled Co. again in 2020, and creates Waterjet cut art and education puzzles in waterproof PVC, wood, and magnetic materials. Using innovative technologies like Waterjet cutting and tactile printing, Philip realized his vision of inventing Puzzles for EveryBody™. This patent-pending tactile puzzle collection offers a unique sensory puzzling experience and learning resource for sighted and visually impaired players alike. All puzzles are cut and printed in-house by Waterjet Works in Dallas, Texas. Family owned.
