Jigsaw Puzzle: rules and examples

Take a moment with Jigsaw Puzzle before moving to another game. Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. 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.

One thing to notice as you play

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 you are aiming for

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Keep the controls in easy reach.

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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use one clear input at a time.

An example to follow

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A mistake to avoid

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
