Jigsaw Puzzle: how a round works
Choose a round of Jigsaw Puzzle and settle into its rules. Restore the sixteen image tiles to their correct positions. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Look at what changes after your first action.
Restore a 4×4 landscape by exchanging two pieces at a time. Progress in this puzzle is not saved after you leave the page.
