Pick the kind of puzzle you enjoy

Puzzles fall into a few families, and it helps to start with the one that feels calm to you.

• Jigsaw puzzles: choose a picture and a piece count from 12 up to 1,000.
• Sudoku: number grids in four levels, from easy to expert.
• Crosswords: mini, medium and big grids, with a printable option.
• Solitaire and mahjong: card and tile games with a clear goal.

For a short session, pick a small piece count or the easy sudoku level. Save the bigger puzzles for a quiet evening. You can explore the full jigsaw hub whenever you want more choice.

Start your first free puzzle

1. Open the puzzle page in your browser. No install step is needed.
2. Read the short instructions on the screen before you begin.
3. Choose a level or piece count that feels comfortable.
4. Play for ten minutes, then stop. You can come back whenever you like.

In a jigsaw, the pieces start scattered around the edges. Drag a piece near its place and it will settle in when it fits. Begin with the corners and the straight edge pieces, then fill the middle by color and pattern.

Try the daily puzzle

Each game has a daily puzzle, and it is the same for everybody on the same day. That makes it easy to come back each day without needing to pick something new. If you want to see every daily game in one place, visit the daily page.

Many people prefer one small daily puzzle to a long session. It creates a gentle habit and leaves the rest of your day open.

Tips for a relaxed session

• Set a short timer so you do not feel rushed.
• Take a break when your eyes feel tired, and look away from the screen for a minute.
• Use good light and sit in a comfortable chair.
• If you get stuck, step away and return later. A fresh look often shows the next move.

If you prefer paper, our printable sudoku can be printed with solutions included. Check your printer's page settings before you print so the grid fits the page.
