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

What are the rules you set for yourselves when puzzling? (self.jigsaw_puzzles)

Like, how closely do you let yourselves follow the box art? Do you time yourselves? Do you break apart any pieces stuck together at the outset or just consider those a gimme?

Good answers.

On edit: I think we do it similarly. Some times new puzzles have pieces stuck together and tear if you try to separate them.

That's a really valid point. If they're stuck not because they happen to be together, but are actually stuck from not being cleanly cut, they get to stay. Don't want to ruin the puzzle over it 👍
