Friendly place to discuss puzzles and share pictures of jigsaw puzzles you have completed. Please do not keep posting the same puzzle over and over again or puzzles other people completed. If you do a puzzle a second time, you can post it again but wait about 30 days between posts and let everyone know you did it again.

Be sure to list the name (if known) puzzle brand, piece count. If you want to remark on quality, artist or degree of difficulty it is ok too.

The only time I might downvote or remove a post or comment is if it is inappropriate. I fully understand and appreciate that not all of us have the same skill levels, financial or physical ability or the same amount of time to devote to doing jigsaw puzzles. Therefore I always upvote every puzzle posted, even if may not be one I truly like.

Please be nice, no abusive comments

I’ve recently started getting into jigsaw puzzles. What are your favorite tips/tricks/strategies? How do you start? Do you have any specific techniques, such as grouping similar pieces or anything like that?

I have these same methods, and did that same animal puzzle!! I don't have trays though, I may go get a couple small Tupperware like containers to sort some pieces by color or zone, since I have cats and can't leave them out. And, always keep that box pic for reference! It's crazy how some little feature on a piece will stand right out and give you a spot to get going.
