Friendly place to discuss jigsaw puzzles and share pictures of jigsaw puzzles you have completed. Please do not keep posting the same jigsaw puzzle over and over again or puzzles other people completed. If you do a jigsaw 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) jigsaw 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.

Gotta be honest; this doesn't seem quite fair... (lemmy.world)

I don’t think I realize what level of difficulty I was signing up for when I bought this puzzle 😖

Are they all slightly different? They look the exact same

They seem only slightly different so hopefully it doesn’t matter. So far there’s always been one that felt a biiiiit better

Go with the one that feels a biiiit better as the right fit should have no resistance at all.

There is a reason I don't enjoy puzzles and it is the fact that I can look at all of those pieces and notice the slight difference without being able to tell exactly which very similar pieces go together without trying each one. That includes ones that aren't solid colors, but the patterns are similar along the cut lines. Just hours of frustration.

Good luck, hope you enjoy it!

That's a sign of a good puzzle. When putting the pieces together all of them should feel a bit off except the correct one.

This was a four-puzzles-for-sixteen-dollars situation so I may have gotten what I paid for.
