- Build up a stock of images you want to do as puzzles, but choose wisely. Avoid fuzzy, out-of-focus, or overly pixilated images as they will be difficult to match up. Shots with a lot of cornstalks or tilled soil will be tough to work out, but that can be part of the fun. Black-and-white photos also are more difficult. Right click on an image you want, left click ‘Save Image As’, and navigate to a place you’ll remember. I created a subfolder within My Photos named Puzzle Photos.
- Open Jigsaw Explorer Puzzle Player and save it as a Favorite. Any time you’re ready to work on a puzzle, open that page.
- A box will pop up telling you that “You have no saved puzzles in progress”. You can open your own puzzle by clicking the ‘Open’ button. That takes you to Windows Explorer so you can browse for the image you want.
- Before you click ‘okay’ and begin, the box in the center has some options. The icon with the nine little square dots lets you set the number of pieces. The number you choose depends on how much time you want to take, your screen size, and your vision. 252 works for my screen, my schedule, and my prescription.
- Notice the three horizontal bars in the upper left corner of the puzzle page. Hover over it and a box drops down with some more options. The Home page lets you search or try some of their stock puzzles.
- You can pause a puzzle by clicking the timer in the upper right. Next time you open the page, it will remind you that one is incomplete.
