SPC World
A daily jigsaw cut from a public-domain painting, with rotating pieces and a fading reference picture.
Every day: One jigsaw cut from a public-domain painting, the same for everyone, playable at three grid sizes with a daily ranking by time. New puzzle: Midnight UTC.
SPC World publishes one jigsaw a day, cut from a public-domain painting such as Rembrandt's The Night Watch. You choose a 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 grid, the pieces scatter with random rotation, and a reference picture shows only for a limited time. Finishing times go on a shared daily ranking.
About SPC World
SPC World is a browser jigsaw game built around a single painting a day. Each puzzle is numbered (day 95 fell on 3 October 2026) and the same image goes out to every player, with the painting's title, artist and licence shown alongside it.
It is made by SPC World, LLC, a company registered in Wyoming. Its legal page says every image comes from the public domain, CC0 or museum open access collections, and keeps a ledger of where each one came from.
A day's puzzle starts with a choice of three sizes of the same painting: Quick (9 pieces), Standard (25) or Expert (49). The pieces drop into a tray, the clock starts, and pieces can arrive rotated, so you turn them as well as place them. Each painting is rated for complexity, and the reference picture may be blurred and only stays on screen for a set time, after which you work from memory.
Besides the daily puzzle there are levels at every grid size from 3x3 to 9x9, a 35-stage campaign and a private DIY mode for your own pictures. It suits people who want a short, calm puzzle with a bit of art history, and those who like racing a daily leaderboard.
How to play SPC World
- Open today's puzzle page.
- Pick Quick, Standard or Expert to set the number of pieces.
- Study the reference painting while it is shown.
- Drag pieces from the tray onto the board and rotate them until they sit the right way.
- Place the last piece to stop the clock and see your rank for the day.
Tips
- Look at the reference closely before it disappears, especially strong colours and edges.
- Place the corner and edge pieces first, then fill in from the brightest areas.
- On small grids a rotated piece is easy to miss, so check orientation before moving on.
