According to デジタル大辞泉 it can mean reciprocal number (逆数) as well but it doesn't seem to be ever used in that sense, so [2] is misleading but I'm hesitant to remove it.

Scott is right.
The two puzzles are similar (squares divided into seven pieces) but not exactly the same (the pieces have different shapes).
But I think the gloss "Sei Shonagon's plank of wisdom" can be improved.
Here are a few suggestions
  Sei Shonagon board of  wisdom (literal translation)
  Sei Shonagon Chie-no-Ita (actually used on a few web pages)
  Sei Shonagon puzzle

Compare the two images:
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/清少納言知恵の板
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangram

They're not the same. As wiki says: シルエットパズルだが分割法はタングラムと異なる

Here's the history from Wikipedia JP:

Some sort of precursor to the Tangram was invented during the Song dynasty 

Sei Shonagon's plank of wisdom appeared around 1742 in Japan.

In 1813 and in 1858, two books which form the basis of Tangram are published in China.

To me it's like saying that Kangaroos and Wallabies are the same because they're both macropods. :)

Example of someone calling it tangram-like: http://oarket.com/2014/10/15/sei-shonagon/
