The basics
Drag pieces around with your finger or mouse. When two pieces are next to each other and roughly aligned, they snap together into a group. Build the picture however you like — corners first, colour clusters, or just whatever you grab next.
Choosing difficulty
Tap a piece-count chip on any puzzle card to start at that size. Most puzzles offer four sizes ranging from 24 to 308 pieces on desktop (16 to 196 on mobile). Easy puzzles aimed at younger kids go from 4 up to 40.
Assists you can toggle
Open the menu (top-right) to enable any of these — they're all optional:
- Preview — Peek at the finished picture any time
- Edges — Dim non-edge pieces so you can build the frame first
- Ghost overlay — Faintly shows the finished image on the board
- Board snap — Shows the puzzle outline so pieces snap into place
- Hint — Drop a random unplaced piece into the right spot
- Show timer — Track how long you take to solve
- Shuffle — Spread loose pieces back across the board
Daily puzzle and streaks
A new puzzle is featured every day. Solve it to start a streak — keep going daily and your streak grows. Miss a day and it resets.
Mystery mode
From the homepage, the mystery puzzle hides the picture. You start with the pieces and have to solve it blind. Great when you want a real challenge.
