Piecing together

Most of us must have solved jigsaw puzzles at some point in our lives. And those who have will always remember the frustrations, patience and eventually the sense of satisfaction in putting the pieces together. The bigger the puzzle pieces, the shorter the span of time to put them all together. And if the pieces happen to be smaller, it can take you ages to solve them, especially if the puzzle is a big one.

With hectic schedules, and other activities, jigsaw puzzles have taken a backseat, particularly with adults. But there is no denying that this game is one mind stimulant, and we need to indulge in it whenever we feel like taking a break from routine. And If you feel you can solve a jigsaw puzzle to rejuvenate yourself, then Jigsaw Land is just the website for you.

Jigsaw Land is a huge collection of puzzles categorised into easy, intermediate and advanced levels. The easy level has larger and fewer pieces, and hardly takes time to complete. The intermediate level has a greater number of small pieces; and the advanced level covers even smaller pieces.

Once you select your level, you need to select the type of jigsaw puzzle you want to solve. There is, again, a wide variety to choose from. There are jigsaw puzzles of animals, locations, sports, food items, nature, cartoons and many more. Each category is divided further so you can solve the exact puzzle that you want to. For instance, if you want to solve a food puzzle, you can select from pizza, cake, cookies, breakfast and fries.

After choosing the puzzle, you will notice that it takes some time to load — the exact time of course depends on your internet connection. But once it is loaded, you can sit back and enjoy. Solving puzzle is a good way to use your head and stimulate your mind. There is absolutely no hassle here — you do not need to sign up for anything or make an account first. Just load the puzzle and go on playing. Of course, if your internet refuses to load the jigsaw in the first place, it is a different story altogether.

At the end of the day, everybody loves jigsaw puzzles. Irrespective of one’s age or time or place, a good jigsaw to rack the brain is always welcome — especially if the number of pieces run in triple digits. And if there is a website to satiate the jigsaw puzzle solving instinct in you, it is so much the better.
