With the advent of digital entertainment, the common puzzle may be falling by the wayside. Puzzle Day is your chance to go back to basics; do a jigsaw, solve a crossword or buy a Rubik’s Cube and frustrate your friends. I will be doing some jigsaws with my Granddaughter today and hopefully the crossword on my own a bit later if I still have the energy.
Do you have a jigsaw strategy? I mean like I always assemble the straight edges first but I’m also on the lookout for bits that look like they go together and putting them aside in a small pile.... serious business jigsaw-ing
Yes I do the same. . Straight lines then any middley bits that I can put together to have a psychological advantage.
Here's one for you two . . . https://www.jigsawpuzzlesdirect.co....MIkd274NSS4AIVz-F3Ch0ffwmXEAQYAiABEgItIfD_BwE
i love jigsaws, very therapeutic; always edges first and then small piles. it's nice to have one out and pop another piece in as you walk by too crosswords were constantly passed around in long meetings when i was lecturing but if the meeting layout wasn't conducive to crossword passing, then it was sudoku.
I still do crosswords, only way to keep my brain ticking over - can't do cryptic ones though. I was bought a 3D Splitscreen puzzle for xmas - damn thing doesn't fit together properly. It might be up for sale as an incomplete project - 10k
Betty does them on her iPad ,has taught my mum too , so when we go down I get hours of silence interrupted by the odd I’ve finished now n again . My dad used to do them a lot but it didn’t help his memory . And the dinning table got used less n less .
I gave my son a really nice jigsaw for his 6th birthday. Great, till the little pillock cut the top of his thumb off with it...
