How to play Jigsaw Puzzle

Bring your attention to one round of Jigsaw Puzzle. 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.

Give this approach a try

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your objective

Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Start with a deliberate move.

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.

How your actions work

Tap two tiles; desktop drag-and-drop is also available. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Check any mode label before starting.

See the idea in action

The horizon should continue across neighbouring tiles. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the controls nearby.

A common point of confusion

This is a square-tile swap puzzle, not interlocking freeform pieces. A different version of the game may use a different rule. 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.
