An introduction to playing Jigsaw Puzzle

Try Jigsaw Puzzle at your own pace and keep its objective in view. Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Look at what changes after your first action. 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.

Take a closer look while playing

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.

Aim for this result

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

A walkthrough of the rules

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

How to use the controls

Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Try this example

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Avoid this misunderstanding

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Compare the situation with the worked example. 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.
