What makes a puzzle easy
Fewer pieces, and a picture with strong landmarks: one clear subject, distinct colours and visible edges. Animals, flowers, food and buildings are easier than misty forests, open sea or starry skies, where neighbouring pieces look alike.
Make it easier or harder
Choose 12 pieces for an even quicker solve, or 48 when 24 starts to feel too simple. The reference picture and ghost outline can be switched on for help and off for a cleaner challenge.
