How to Play

At the top of the puzzle page you will find three collections: Seasons, Nature, and Animals. Tap a collection to see its scenes, then tap the picture you would like to rebuild. Choosing a new picture always starts a fresh puzzle, so you can switch whenever you feel like it.

The large rectangle in the middle is the board. It shows a faded copy of the finished picture, which acts as your guide — like the photo on the lid of a boxed puzzle. Below the board is the tray, where the loose pieces wait so they never cover the picture you are working from.

Press and hold a piece and move it onto the part of the faded picture where you think it belongs. On a phone or tablet, use one finger; on a computer, hold the left mouse button. When the piece is near its correct spot it snaps into place and locks there, so a placed piece can never be knocked loose by accident.

If a piece will not stay, it simply is not in the right place yet. Move it a little and try again, or set it aside and come back to it.

Once all twelve pieces are placed, the picture fades out and returns in full colour with a gentle animation, and a short verse rises over the scene. Tap Play again to shuffle the same picture, or pick a different one to start something new.

• Start with the corners and edges. Pieces with a straight side belong on the outside of the picture, so they are the quickest wins and they frame everything else.
• Sort by colour, not by shape. Look for the sky, the water, or the roof and group pieces that share those colours before you place them.
• Follow the lines. A path, a shoreline, or a tree trunk runs across several pieces — once you find one part of it, its neighbours are usually easy to spot.
• Use the faded guide. Hold a piece over the board and compare it to the faded picture underneath instead of guessing.
• Take your time. Nothing is being timed or scored. Pausing to look is part of the point.

On a phone, hold the device upright and drag with one finger; the board fills most of the screen and the pieces are sized for fingertips. On a tablet, the larger screen makes the puzzle especially comfortable and it is the easiest way to play alongside a child. On a laptop or desktop, drag with the mouse or trackpad; a wider window gives the tray more room.

Nothing needs to be installed on any device, and there is no account to create. If a drag feels sticky, closing other browser tabs usually smooths it out.

Twelve pieces is a friendly number for young players. Let a child choose the picture — animals are usually the favourite — and start them with the edge pieces so they see progress early. Naming what you see out loud ("let's find the fox's ear") turns the puzzle into a shared game rather than a test.
