1. Edges first
Find the straight-edged pieces and build the frame. On this site, the Edges button lines them all up for you.
2. Sort by color and texture
Group sky, water, foliage and faces. Big blocks of one color go together fastest once the rest is done.
3. Work in sections
Pick something distinctive (a face, a building, a signature) and build outward from it.
4. Use the shapes
Pieces with two tabs fit holes with two holes. When colors run out, sort the remaining pieces by shape.
5. Look at the picture, then hide it
The faint picture on the board helps beginners. Turn it off with the Picture button for a real challenge.
6. Take breaks
Fresh eyes spot pieces instantly. Your progress here is saved in your browser, so you can close the tab and come back.
Choosing a size
- 24 pieces: a few minutes, great for kids or a coffee break.
- 48 to 96 pieces: a satisfying daily puzzle.
- 150 to 300 pieces: a proper challenge, best on a big screen in full screen mode.
