Answer 2

I know U would like a really elaborate Answer, explaining in depth hidden hints 2 complete UR jigsaw-puzzles, but alas I find them tedious, best way 2 finish UR puzzle 2day is throw it in the re-cycle.

Sorry, 4 being a wet-blanket.
Hopefully a few Jigsaw Addicts will add a comment 4 U.

Answer 3

The best way to solve any puzzle is to take it one piece at a time.

Answer 4

This is the key to most puzzle is get all the straight edges put to one side and start from there

Answer 5

First find all the COrner and Outer Edge peices

Answer 6

I would normally say do the border first. You can try it that way if you can tell wich pieces are the outline.

Answer 7

i would start on the edges of the puzzle and work my way into the middle....

Answer 8

Start with the outside edges, and work your way in, also try seperating the pieces based on color, and then color variation. You can also separate the pieces by how many loops they have (I usually do that when I'm about half way done).

Answer 9

i usually solve first the borders.than i separate the colored pieces by color,because it's more easy to solve them that way. and finally...for the similar pieces you nedd luck :)

Answer 10

Put together the border first, then sort the inside pieces by color.

Answer 11

Start at a corner & work from the outside in...
