About the game

Jigsaw is the classic assembly puzzle: drag and place scattered pieces to reconstruct a complete image.

How to play

Move and rotate pieces into their correct positions. Complete the full picture to win; edges and color regions help you sort.

Tips & strategy

['Assemble the border first to frame the puzzle.', 'Sort pieces by color and pattern.', 'Use distinctive areas as anchors.']

Advanced guide

Solve jigsaw puzzles methodically: complete the border to define the frame, then sort interior pieces by color and pattern. Tackle distinctive regions - a bright object or clear line - as anchors, and let those guide the surrounding, subtler pieces.

History & origins

The jigsaw puzzle was invented in 1760s London as a teaching map cut into pieces.
