Step 1 Choose a puzzle with a picture that catches your eye. If you’re a beginner, choose one with 300 to 500 pieces.
Quick Tip:
Choose a puzzle with sharp or vivid colors and distinct lines for easier assembly.
Step 2 Lay out your puzzle pieces on a flat surface, separating the border or edge pieces from the inner pieces.
Quick Tip:
It’s easy to miss a border piece, so don’t worry if you can’t find them all. They’ll turn up later.
Step 3 Assemble the border pieces first. This gives you a defined area to work in.
Step 4 Sort the remaining pieces into piles based on colors, patterns, and shapes. After sorting these pieces, begin fitting them together.
Step 5 You’ve just put the last piece in. Now step back and admire your achievement!
