Ever wonder how to solve a puzzle faster? Well, here are some commonly used strategies to help you do so. The most commonly used method for assembling a puzzle easier and faster is starting by separating the edge pieces from the inside ones. Once the edge is connected, it is easier to connect with the inside pieces.
Another good strategy to employ is grouping pieces by color or similiar design. By doing so you know where to look for an "yellow piece", let's say.
A popular strategy for solving puzzles involves using the picture on the box as a guide. Looking at the picture or aranging the pieces in the approximative location they would go will speed up your puzzle solving time.
Another approach is to sort the pieces by color and work on one color at a time. When dealing with extensive areas of the same color, such as the sky in many landscape puzzles, paying attention to the shapes of the pieces becomes crucial. All the pieces of a particular color can be arranged in a grid and tested against other pieces within the same grid.
These strategies can also be applied to online jigsaw puzzle, like the one on Daily Jigsaw Puzzles. In all our games you can toggle between seing all the pieces of just the edges and you can bring up the puzzle image for reference. Give it a try, select a puzzle from below!
