Puzzle & Brain

Play Daily Puzzle, a relaxing jigsaw game where you drag pieces together to rebuild the picture. Free in your browser, no download needed.

Daily Puzzle is a jigsaw game. A picture is cut into pieces and scattered, and you drag them back together until the image is whole. There is no timer pressure and no enemy on screen. It is a calm game that suits a few minutes between rounds of something faster.

It sits a long way from the jumpers and runners that fill most of this site, and that is the reason to try it. Doodle Jump is all reflexes and altitude. A jigsaw uses a different kind of attention, where you scan for edges, colours and shapes. If you want a break from the bouncing, this works well.

According to its CrazyGames listing, Daily Puzzle is made by Apkko Decher. It runs in the browser with nothing to install, and you can pick it up and put it down whenever you like.

How to play

On a computer, hold the left mouse button on a piece and drag it to where you think it belongs. The listing describes the control as dragging with the left mouse button. On a phone or tablet, use your finger to drag pieces in the same way.

The goal is to rebuild the picture. Piece count, difficulty options and the image each day can vary, so check what the game offers when it loads rather than expecting a fixed layout.

Tips

Start with the border. Pieces with a flat side are the easiest to identify, and a finished frame gives you a boundary to build inward from.
Sort by colour. Move pieces of sky, water, grass or any other obvious region into loose groups before you try to fit them.
Use the fullscreen button under the game if the pieces feel small. Larger pieces make the edge shapes easier to compare.
If a piece will not fit, set it aside. Forcing it wastes time, and it often turns out to belong in a different part of the picture.

Similar games on Doodle Jump

None of the site's games are jigsaws, but a few are slower and more thoughtful than the rest. Fireboy and Watergirl is a puzzle platformer where two characters solve each stage together. Bloons Tower Defense 2 is a strategy game about placing towers and planning ahead. Doodle Jump is the opposite end of the spectrum, a fast endless climb, and it makes a good contrast with a quiet puzzle.

Daily Puzzle suits short, relaxed sessions, whether on a desktop with a mouse or on a touchscreen.
