Simply Jigsaw (Masque Publishing)
Put together the day's photo, cut into as many pieces as you choose.
Every day: A new photo to assemble every day, the same for every player, chosen from the date; themed rooms (Cute and Cuddly, Life of Luxury, Mechanical Wonders, Natural Beauty) each get a daily picture of their own too. New puzzle: Once a day, at midnight on your device's clock.
Simply Jigsaw is Masque Publishing's browser jigsaw on Yahoo Games. Each day it serves a new photo as Today's Puzzle, and you choose how many pieces to cut it into and what tabletop to build it on. Themed rooms add a daily photo of animals, luxury, machines or landscapes.
About Simply Jigsaw (Masque Publishing)
Simply Jigsaw is a free online jigsaw puzzle from Masque Publishing, the studio behind many of the classic games on Yahoo Games. It runs in the browser on desktop and phone.
The daily part is the picture. The game picks its photo from the date, so everyone who opens Today's Puzzle on a given day gets the same image. Besides the main daily picture there are themed rooms, Cute and Cuddly, Life of Luxury, Mechanical Wonders and Natural Beauty, and each of them gets its own photo for the day as well.
You set the puzzle up the way you like: pick the size of the puzzle, from a few large pieces to many small ones, and choose the tabletop you build on. Then you drag pieces around and join them by their notches until the photo is whole.
It suits players who want a calm daily break with no words or numbers, and anyone who misses a jigsaw on the kitchen table.
How to play Simply Jigsaw (Masque Publishing)
- Open Simply Jigsaw on Yahoo Games and choose Today's Puzzle, or a themed room.
- Pick how many pieces you want and, if you like, a different tabletop.
- Drag pieces across the table; a piece snaps to its neighbour when the notches line up.
- Keep joining groups of pieces until the whole photo is complete.
Tips
- Build the border first: the straight-edged pieces give you the frame to work inward from.
- Sort pieces by colour into piles at the edges of the table before you start joining them.
- Pick a tabletop colour that contrasts with the day's photo so loose pieces are easier to see.
Questions

Does everyone get the same daily jigsaw?

Can I choose the number of pieces?
Yes. You pick the puzzle size before you start, so the same daily photo can be a quick puzzle or a long one.
