About Puzzlebot
A straightforward jigsaw collection with the pieces scattered and an image to rebuild. Seven puzzles are on offer and each one can be played at three difficulty tiers, so the same picture goes from a gentle few minutes to something that takes real patience.
The timer is the part that changes how it plays. It pushes you towards sorting the pieces before you place any, rather than picking one up and hunting for its neighbour. A hint is there when a corner of the image refuses to resolve, and using one is not treated as a failure.
How to play
- Choose a puzzle and a difficulty tier.
- Drag each piece to where it belongs in the image.
- Use a hint when a section will not come together.
- Complete the picture before the clock runs out.

Tips
- Build the border first, then work inwards. It halves the number of places any later piece can go.
- Sort by colour before you place anything. Time spent sorting is repaid several times over.
