TrizmSpeak™ (Terminology)

Small Triangle – the smallest triangle in the puzzle, the place you enter a value.
Sides - the small triangles that form the left, right and base of the puzzle – the sides look like teeth, and always have a long edge on the outside of the puzzle.
Inner Triangle - a group of small triangles that each contain a unique value.
Crossbar - unlike the sides, the colored crossbars are alternating rightside-up, upside-down small triangles that always start on a side.
Trizm Size – the number of small triangles that make up each inner triangle, side, and crossbar. Trizm’s can be any size that is a perfect square, such as 4, 9, 16, 25, etc.
Trizm Type – the trizm size plus the number of crossbars, denoted with an X. For example a 9X3 is a trizm size nine with three crossbars.
