How to Play Jigsaw Puzzle
Play jigsaw puzzles online for free with real interlocking pieces, right in your browser. Jigsaw Puzzle was made by the CrazyArcade team and comes with eight original pictures: a mountain sunset, a city at night, a sailboat at sea, hot air balloons, a colorful mosaic, a misty forest, planets in space and a flower field. Pick a picture, choose 12, 24, 48 or 96 pieces, and press Play. The pieces are spread around the empty board. Drag a piece with your mouse or finger and let go near its correct spot to snap it into place. When two pieces that belong next to each other touch in the right position, they lock together and move as one group, so you can build sections off the board and drop them in later. The Placed counter and progress bar show how many pieces are on the board. The timer starts with your first move and stops when the last piece snaps in. Your best time is saved on your device for each piece count, so you can try to beat it. Turn on Ghost to see a faint guide picture on the board, use Edges to hide the middle pieces while you build the border, and press Scatter to spread loose pieces out again.
Controls & Interaction
Mouse or touch: drag a piece or group G: toggle ghost image E: show edge pieces only S: scatter loose pieces N or Esc: new puzzle menu Enter: start the selected puzzle
Pro Tips to Win
- Turn on Edges first and build the border, since edge pieces have at least one straight side.
- Join neighbors off the board into small groups; a group snaps onto the board as soon as one piece of it is close to its spot.
- Your best time is kept per piece count, so a 12 piece run is a quick way to learn a picture before trying 96.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When does the timer start?
A: The timer starts when you move your first piece and pauses while the puzzle menu is open. It stops when the last piece snaps into place.
Q: Do the pictures change between games?
A: No, each of the eight pictures is drawn the same way every time, but the piece shapes and the scatter are new in every game.
