Friendly place to discuss puzzles and share pictures of jigsaw puzzles you have completed. Please do not keep posting the same puzzle over and over again or puzzles other people completed. If you do a puzzle a second time, you can post it again but wait about 30 days between posts and let everyone know you did it again.

Be sure to list the name (if known) puzzle brand, piece count. If you want to remark on quality, artist or degree of difficulty it is ok too.

The only time I might downvote or remove a post or comment is if it is inappropriate. I fully understand and appreciate that not all of us have the same skill levels, financial or physical ability or the same amount of time to devote to doing jigsaw puzzles. Therefore I always upvote every puzzle posted, even if may not be one I truly like.

Please be nice, no abusive comments

Like, how closely do you let yourselves follow the box art? Do you time yourselves? Do you break apart any pieces stuck together at the outset or just consider those a gimme?

We separate all pieces upon opening, and do not look at the box art at all. Obviously you see it when you pick the puzzle, but no studying it! No timing, just relaxed playing! The point isn't to finish, it's just to have fun while you're working on it. When I get together with my sisters and we do a puzzle, we all slide the last piece in together, each with a finger on it (kind of like how you move the triangle piece of the Ouija board). Half of us are moving it in the wrong direction and we're all just laughing having a good time!
