Understand the basics of Jigsaw Puzzle

Choose a round of Jigsaw Puzzle and settle into its rules. Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Use the example below to understand a decision. 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. Use the example to check your reasoning.

The objective of a round

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

Making your moves

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

Controls

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.

Work through an example

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.

Where a round can go wrong

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
