What The Jigsaw Puzzles is
The Jigsaw Puzzles is a free, browser-based collection of jigsaw puzzles, with thousands of images ranging from simple 12-piece challenges to puzzles with several hundred pieces. The site is easy to navigate: browse themed albums on the left, or check the daily Puzzle of the Day for a fresh challenge. Each puzzle can be played directly in your web browser, with a fullscreen option in the lower-right corner. The collection includes categories like Animals, Flowers, Castles, Bridges, Cars & Bikes, Macro, People, Kids Puzzles, Food & Bakery, Under the Sea, and seasonal themes such as Halloween and Christmas & New Year. Players don't need to register to start solving. The site emphasizes that all puzzles are free and the gallery grows regularly. You can also sign in with Google or Facebook if you want to save progress or create custom puzzles, though this requires JavaScript to be enabled. The layout is clean, with clear piece counts for each puzzle and a 'Classic' label for traditional photo-based images. Whether you have five minutes or a longer break, the puzzles are designed to be played quickly and enjoyed without downloads or installations.
How to play
Pick a puzzle from the home page, the Puzzle of the Day, or any of the themed albums on the left. Each puzzle shows a piece count (for example, 50, 100, or 150 pieces). Click a puzzle to start solving it in your browser. Drag and drop pieces to connect them, just like a physical jigsaw. The site provides a fullscreen button in the lower-right corner for a more immersive view. While solving, you can also adjust the difficulty or save your progress, but only if JavaScript is enabled. The gameplay is straightforward: match shapes and colors to complete the image. Many puzzles are labelled 'Classic' with a photo credit. When you finish, you can return to the gallery to choose another puzzle.
Tips

- Use the fullscreen button in the lower-right corner to see fine details and make piece placement easier.
- Sort pieces by edge and color before connecting them, just as you would with a physical puzzle.
- Bookmark the site and return daily for a new Puzzle of the Day to keep your skills sharp.
