How to play the jigsaw puzzle
- Press Play Game, then pick a picture from the gallery or play the Daily Puzzle.
- Choose how many pieces you want, from 16 to 196.
- Drag a piece from the tray onto the board. When it is close to its correct spot it snaps into place with a click.
- Not sure yet? Drop a piece anywhere on the table and come back to it later, or drop it back into the tray.
- Place every piece to complete the picture and set your best time.
The faint ghost image on the board shows where everything goes, and the Edges button shows only border pieces so you can build the frame first, just like with a real jigsaw on the kitchen table.

Tips to solve jigsaw puzzles faster
- Start with the edges. Tap Edges to show only border pieces and build the frame first.
- Sort by colour. Drop pieces of the same colour together on the table, then place them group by group.
- Look at the shape. Count the tabs and holes: a piece with two flat sides is a corner.
- Use the ghost image. Keep it on for an easier game, or turn it off for a real challenge.
- Peek at the picture. Tap the 👁 button to see the full picture for a moment.
- Stuck? A 💡 hint flies one piece into its place, starting next to the parts you already finished.

What is a jigsaw puzzle?
A jigsaw puzzle is a picture cut into interlocking pieces that you fit back together. The first ones were made in the 1760s by London mapmaker John Spilsbury, who glued maps onto wood and cut them along the borders to teach geography. Today jigsaw puzzles are loved all over the world as a calm, screen-friendly way to unwind: sorting colours, spotting shapes and hearing that satisfying click trains focus, patience and visual memory. Jigsaw Galaxy brings that feeling to your browser with smooth snapping, real tab-and-blank pieces and pictures made for puzzling.
