Have you been wondering what is the best tactic for making up your puzzle? Start by matching the colors. Put each color in a container.
Now let's put the frame together. After getting the frame situated, start with the sky. Now, try putting together an object that is large. Continue on around the puzzle. Something that is worth noting, put the group of each color you are putting together out side of the frame of the puzzle. This will help you focus on each part of the puzzle. After you have put a group of pieces together, use your puzzle scoop to put the smaller pieces together. If you do not have a puzzle scoop I suggest you buy one. They are inexpensive. You can obtain one online at vintagepuzzlesgames.com.
When putting your puzzles together, it is best to use the “turn up once and done” approach. So instead of riffling through a big box of pieces over and over again, looking for bits of red or whatever, you simply make sure every piece is turned face-up at the start. Then all you have to do is scan all the turned up pieces to find what you’re looking for.
TIP: Don’t waste time ‘trying’ pieces that visually don’t fit. This may seem obvious, but new puzzlers often pick up one piece and try it in many places all over, even in places where it obviously could not go. It’s as if they hope it will just ‘work out’. This is spinning your wheels. LOOK at the piece and the edges first. When you attempt to attach a piece to an edge, you should be at least 80% sure it will fit. Do the colors and patterns on the edges you are attempting to connect match? Is the knob and hole that will connect roughly the same size and shape?
