In this work triangular puzzles that are composed of unit triangles with labelled edges are considered. To be more precise, the labelled unit triangles that we allow are on the one hand the puzzle pieces that compute Schubert calculus and on the other hand the flipped K-theory puzzle piece. The motivation for studying such puzzles comes from the fact that they correspond to a class of oriented triangular fully packed loop configurations. The main result that is presented is an expression for the number of these puzzles with a fixed boundary in terms of Littlewood- Richardson coefficients.
