In other articles on online games I have indicated several by calling them "Puzzle Games" because they are based on puzzles to solve. Puzzles, however, in the true sense of the word, are those games where you have to recompose an image by fitting the pieces of which they are composed .
Typically, puzzles are board games where cardboard has been divided into many pieces to put together and it takes a good deal of patience and calm to get to grips with it.
All fans of puzzles, and even those who never play them just for lack of time, can still put together pieces of images and photographs on the computer screen thanks to some online games made really well and suitable for everyone, both for fast jobs than with puzzles for experts.
Searching the internet for the best puzzles to compose online, using the mouse and without cardboard, you come across an unexpected long list of fan sites.
In this article we see what I thought were the best, because they are interactive and, some of them, customizable with your own photos .
So to prove your patience and ability to perceive, I recommend playing for free on these 10 websites that offer all kinds of puzzles to put the pieces back together.
1) Jigsaw-Puzzles offers around 3000 puzzles to choose from.
No registration required to play, just choose a nickname before starting and press "Play"
The puzzle opens full screen and there are also more than a thousand pieces.
2) JigZone is instead a site of real puzzles, where the various pieces to be stuck up to complete the image appear scattered on the screen. There are different levels of difficulty and you can choose the shape of the pieces, from the traditional one up to tiles cut in apparently random ways. The site offers one puzzle per day but you can choose one of the images offered and divided into categories. Very interactive is the game interface that allows you to move the pieces with the mouse as if you had a touchscreen (but not to rotate them) and where you can also receive help with self-resolution (Auto-Solve). You can also start the stopwatch to measure how quickly the puzzle is completed.
3) Jigsaw Planet is a very nice site that immediately presents the choice of the puzzle to play with and the number of pieces it is made of. By pressing the "Create" button you can create your own puzzle using a photo of your computer, choosing how many pieces it must be divided and their shape. The web interface is in Java, the pieces are scattered all over the screen and some puzzles are really complicated. For each one, you can press Play and see how it is solved and reassembled. This is one of the few puzzle games where the pieces can be rotated with the keyboard arrows.
4) Just Jigsaw Puzzles is a site that is not very nice to see and navigate, but which has 2000 puzzles to solve with an interactive flash interface. You can also upload your own image from your computer or use a photo on Flickr. Obviously you can choose the level of difficulty.
5) JSPuzzles presents simple 9-piece puzzles and more difficult 100-piece compositions. The tiles that must be fitted together are rectangles with no connection forms. Resolution times can be compared with average times and best time.
6) Jigidi allows you to play puzzles from more than 240 pieces in full screen. The flash graphics work well, the pieces move with the mouse and you can zoom using the wheel. Here, too, you can create your own custom puzzle.
7) Crazy4Jigsaws is a game portal where you can sign up to compete against other users. By solving puzzles you earn points and you can even get to play on 1000 pieces. The site is free but some functions are paid.
8) JigsawBreak allows you to create your own personalized puzzle using various images. You can also immediately play a puzzle with a random image. The challenge is to solve an N x N puzzle in NX2 moves so if the puzzle has 5 × 5 tiles, it must be completed in 25 moves or less. This JigSawBreak, rather than cardboard jigsaw puzzles with free pieces, is similar to those toys with the tiles to be moved along a grid.
10) I liked WhiteJigsaw because it is a very fun flash game where you have to solve puzzles in series, more and more difficult.
