Alternatively, free polyforms made of L-pipes connected end-to-end (not perpendicularly).
From Pontus von Brömssen, Nov 23 2025: (Start)
Other equivalent polyforms counted by a(n) (see linked illustration for n=6):
- free polyominoes consisting of n square cells, each of which has two adjacent chipped edges, preventing those edges from connecting to another cell;
- free polyarcs with n cells (A057787), all of which are quarter circles.
