A jigsaw puzzle is a tiling puzzle that requires the assembly of numerous small, often oddly shaped, interlocking and tessellating pieces.  Jigsaw puzzles were originally created by painting a picture on a flat, rectangular piece of wood, and then cutting that picture into small pieces with a jigsaw, hence the name.  Jigsaw puzzles have since come to be made primarily on cardboard.

Jigsaw puzzles typically come in 300-piece, 500-piece, 750-piece, and 1,000-piece sizes, however the largest commercial puzzle has 24,000 pieces and spans 428 cm by 157 cm.  The most common layout for a thousand-piece puzzle is 38 pieces by 27 pieces, for a total count of 1,026 pieces.  The majority of 500-piece puzzles are 27 pieces by 19 pieces.  Children’s jigsaw puzzles come in a great variety of sizes, rated by the number of pieces.  There are also three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles.   Also common are puzzle boxes: simple three-dimensional jigsaw puzzles with a small drawer or box in the center for storage.

Puzzle pieces;

Many puzzles are termed “fully interlocking”.  Most jigsaw puzzles are square, rectangular, or round, with edge pieces that have one side that is either straight or smoothly curved to create this shape, plus four corner pieces if the puzzle is square or rectangular.  Some jigsaw puzzles have edge pieces that are cut just like all the rest of the interlocking pieces, with no smooth edge, to make them more challenging.  Other puzzles are designed so the shape of the whole puzzle forms a figure, such as an animal.  The method of cutting pieces varies from puzzle line to puzzle line.  Larger puzzles are commonly cut into two or more sections.
