How to play Jigsaw Puzzle

Open Jigsaw Puzzle, check the instructions and begin a round. Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

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

Build a steady rhythm

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. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. The example below illustrates a decision.

Step by step

  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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

A useful example

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

Watch out for this

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
