Jigsaw Puzzle: learn through an example

Take a closer look while playing

When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your objective

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The order of play

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

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

Follow the example

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.

Avoid this misunderstanding

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
