About this jigsaw puzzle
This is a classic jigsaw puzzle: the image is cut into pieces with tabs and blanks that fit together. The exact number of pieces adjusts to the proportions of the image, so 24 can give, for example, 5×5 = 25 pieces. You can play with famous public-domain paintings, such as The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai or The Starry Night by Van Gogh, or with a photo of your own.
To get started, look for the corner and edge pieces first, which have one flat side, and build the frame. Then group the pieces by color and by area of the image. If your photo is a landscape, the sky is usually the hardest part. Everything happens on your device: nothing is sent to any server and your photo is not uploaded anywhere.
Good to know
- The game is not saved: if you close the page, you start over.
- Your own photos are reduced to a maximum of 1000 pixels on a side so the game stays smooth.
- With 100 pieces on a phone the pieces are small: try 12 or 24 first.
