How to Organize and Solve Complex Puzzles

By David McKinney 25 April, 2023 3 mins read

Puzzles that have more than 1000 pieces are usually the most difficult. They often feature similar-coloured pieces, small repeating patterns and sometimes unusual shapes. They are overwhelming and can inspire fear, awe or glee. They can take many hours or even days to solve. This is why many people like them.

Organizing a jigsaw puzzle

There are a few things you need to do to organize your jigsaw puzzle collections. Your first step is to get rid of all unnecessary items. You can either donate or sell any puzzles you don’t use. You can also sell puzzles through sites such as eBay or Craigslist. Also, you should get rid of puzzles with missing pieces or that your loved ones don't want. Give them to a friend/family member who will love them.

Sorting your pieces can help you organize your puzzle. You can sort your puzzle pieces by their color, shape, texture, or both. You can then arrange your pieces in smaller sections once you have sorted them. After you have completed assembling the puzzle, place them in the appropriate frames.

Each section should be worked on at a time

You can keep track of your progress by working on one section at a given time. This will help you stay motivated and focused to complete the puzzle. Focusing on one area at a time allows you to quickly move onto the next. This strategy will enable you to see how the remaining pieces look.

You will find it easier to solve a good puzzle when you look at a photograph. This will give a clear idea of where each piece is located. Look out for clues such as the beginnings and endings of lines. Some puzzles almost exclusively consist of writing. This can be confusing. It is much easier to use pictures in a puzzle like this. Different font sizes and styles are helpful.

Working with repetitive shapes

Working with repetitive shapes is a challenge when solving difficult puzzles. This problem is especially challenging if your puzzle is made up of single-color blocks or pieces between two blocks. If you are working with this type, you can begin by sorting your pieces according to shape. You will then need to find holes in which the most shape candidates can be placed. One example: A piece with two adjacent knobs could fit in an unfilled space.

Work with solid colors

Solid color jigsaw Puzzles are great for those who are proficient in putting together puzzle pieces. Working with solid color puzzles is challenging because you have to pay careful attention to how the pieces fit together. Triangular puzzles that combine two or more colors are the most difficult.

Sorting a single-colored picture puzzle should be done according to its shape and color. You can sort pieces by color shade or area if they are all the same color.

Working with optical illusions

Some optical illusions provide entertainment while others challenge your cognitive abilities. Optical illusions allow you to test your abilities and have fun, no matter if you're solving a challenging puzzle or playing an interactive game. Recently, there have been a number of puzzles online that require you focus and to solve a difficult problem.

Perception fade is one example of a common optical illusion. A peripheral vision's lower resolution causes a visual image to fade from view. This forces the brain to reconstruct the outer flanks based on what it is able to gather from the center. In this process, the nervous system tries to find structure and order in the world around us.
