About this jigsaw puzzle

This puzzle skips interlocking tabs and blanks in favor of the simplest possible mechanic: every piece can swap places with any other piece, so there's no blank slot to shuffle pieces around like a sliding puzzle. That keeps every layout solvable no matter how it's shuffled, and keeps the controls identical whether you're using a mouse or a touchscreen.

Because slicing happens with plain CSS background positioning, no image is ever uploaded to a server — the whole puzzle exists only in your browser tab.

Always solvable

Any two pieces can swap directly, so there's never a shuffle that traps you the way a sliding 15-puzzle can.

Grid size sets difficulty

Going from 3x3 to 5x5 more than triples the number of pieces to place correctly.

Good photos to try

Pictures with clear, varied detail across the frame tend to be easier to solve than plain skies or solid backgrounds.

Private by design

Your photo is read and sliced locally, so nothing about it is ever sent anywhere.

Jigsaw puzzle game FAQ

Questions about uploading, controls and difficulty.

Is my uploaded photo sent anywhere?

No. Your photo is read directly in your browser and sliced into puzzle pieces using CSS — it is never uploaded to a server.

How do I move pieces on a phone?

Tap one piece to select it, then tap a second piece to swap the two. There's no dragging required on touch devices.

How do I move pieces on a computer?

Drag a piece and drop it onto another piece to swap their positions, or click to select and click again to swap, the same as on mobile.

Which grid size should I pick?

3x3 is a quick, easy puzzle. 4x4 is a solid medium challenge, and 5x5 takes real patience — pick whichever suits your photo and how much time you have.

Is my best time saved anywhere besides my browser?

No. Your best time and move count for each grid size are saved only in this browser's local storage on this device.
