💡 Puzzle Solving Tips
- Start with edges: Find all edge pieces first (pieces with flat sides) and build the frame. This gives you a clear boundary to work within.
- Sort by color: Group pieces by color or pattern. This makes it easier to find matches when working on specific areas.
- Find corners first: Corner pieces (with two flat sides) are easy to identify. Place these first to establish your puzzle boundaries.
- Look for distinct features: Work on areas with distinctive colors, patterns, or objects first. Leave uniform areas (like sky) for later.
- Work in sections: Build small clusters of connected pieces, then join them together. Don't try to place every piece individually into the main puzzle.
