About Jigsaw Sort

This is a jigsaw with the cutting already done for you. The pieces sit in a grid in the wrong order, and you swap two at a time until the image underneath resolves. There is no hunting for an edge and nothing loose on the table.

That makes it faster than a normal jigsaw and slightly different to think about, because you are reading a scrambled image rather than a shape. Fresh pictures arrive as you clear them and the grids grow. Portrait at 600 by 800.

How to play

  1. Look at the scrambled grid and work out what the picture is.
  2. Swap two pieces to move one closer to its place.
  3. Keep swapping until every piece sits where it belongs.
  4. Move on to the next, larger picture.

Controls

Tips

  • Fix the corners first. They anchor everything you place afterwards.
  • Follow one feature across the grid, a horizon or an edge of colour, rather than solving piece by piece.
