Getting started with Jigsaw Puzzle

Start Jigsaw Puzzle by looking at the playing area and its controls. Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Restore a 4×4 landscape by exchanging two pieces at a time. Progress in this puzzle is not saved after you leave the page.

Something to practise

Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Refer to the controls when needed.

What counts as success

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.

Start here and follow along

  1. Select two pieces to swap.
  2. Desktop dragging can also swap tiles.
  3. Compare edges and the reference picture.
  4. Complete the image.

Using the playing area

Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. Use the control method described here for this activity. Look at the feedback after the action.

An example to follow

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.

One detail worth checking

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
