I’m a long-time fan of jigsaw puzzles! With the help of a friend, we completed a 10,000-piece puzzle! I’ll post about that experience some other time! 😅
After the more-than-a-year-long mega puzzle, I still like puzzles, but don’t want to tackle something like that 10k-piece one again any time soon! I discovered they now offer puzzles that have been lettered to help with the assembly process! Boy, I wish that 10k one would’ve had this! Here’s the back of a puzzle I recently finished:
The packaging was actually really attractive:
A nice little bag inside to hold the pieces and a fold-out poster of the pic so you can see the whole thing as you assemble!
For me, the first step is going through and sorting them by their letters into different piles, separating out the edge pieces:
Assemble the outer edge, then grab a plate and assemble that section!
It turns a puzzle that may take a week or two into a weekend project!
The weird thing to get used to is that the puzzle is lettered from left to right when you look at the BACK of the puzzle. When you’re assembling it, it actually runs right to left!
There’s quite a selection of puzzles with this setup, and it makes a difference! These are really well made. In fact, they’re a little hard to take apart at the end if you want to save and reassemble in the future!
