How to play Jigsaw
Choose a picture and how many pieces you want. The pieces start mixed up in the tray below the board. Drag each piece onto the board: when it is close to its correct spot it clicks into place and locks. Pieces that belong next to each other also snap together anywhere on the table, so you can build sections in the tray and move them as one.
Helpers
- Peek: shows the finished picture faintly on the board. Tap again to hide it. A very faint guide is always there.
- Edges first: lines up the edge pieces at the top of the tray, the classic way to start a jigsaw.
- Shuffle: spreads out all the loose pieces again if the tray gets crowded.
Pictures and sizes
There are six original pictures: Cosy kitchen, Dusty attic, Sunny garden, Messy bedroom, Beach day and Old library. Each can be played with 12, 30, 56 or 90 pieces. Your best time is saved for every picture and size, and finished pictures get a tick in the menu.
| Pieces | Grid | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | 3 × 4 | Kids and a quick break |
| 30 | 5 × 6 | A relaxing few minutes |
| 56 | 7 × 8 | A proper puzzle session |
| 90 | 9 × 10 | Experienced puzzlers, best on a bigger screen |
Jigsaw tips
- Start with the edges. Edge pieces have a flat side and frame the whole picture.
- Sort by colour. Group sky, sand, wood and wall pieces together before you place them.
- Look at the shape. Count the tabs and blanks: a piece with two tabs on opposite sides fits very differently from one with tabs side by side.
- Build sections in the tray. Joined pieces move together, so you can finish an object and drop it onto the board in one go.
Questions
Are these jigsaw puzzles free?
Yes. All the puzzles are free in your browser on phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to download or sign up for.
Can I play jigsaw puzzles on my phone?
Yes. Drag pieces with your finger. On a small screen, 12 or 30 pieces is the most comfortable.
Do the pieces rotate?
No. Every piece already faces the right way, so you can focus on the picture and the shapes.
