Puzzles
I'm a jigsaw puzzle fan and in this lifetime alone have probably assembled a bazillion. Occasionally, I like one well enough to work twice or use ModPodge to convert it to a hanging thingy til it gets dusty or boring!
But this tiny program is my favorite for now. It uses my photographs or images to create puzzles to work right on the computer monitor. There are several sizes to play.
It surprises little poppets who are learning to manipulate mouse and pieces. They are tickled to find a picture they recognize and especially pleased when they see themselves in a completed puzzle.
The added bonus is that when your ISP goes missing you can play offline! It makes a nice little distraction and there's nothing to pick up or put away. The url: http://puzzle.watype.net/
I think it's easier than Sudoku. At least for this week. What do you think? Do you love puzzles?

This is really neat, Sue. I don't doubt that it is also addictive? Thanks for sharing it. Right now I am playing Scrabble quite a bit. I love Scrabble!
I wish I was good at puzzle type things but, unfortunately, I'm just not. I've never been able to complete a jigsaw...though I may give this site a try and attempt to improve my skills :)
That looks real fun. I don't think I've done a jigsaw in years.
Nice! Maybe I will show my Mom! She loves puzzles. The internet confuses her a little though.
my kids love doing jig-saw puzzles.
I have a huge pile of them...
thank you for the creative and educational post!
Jigsaw puzzles are a favourite pastime for many adults and kids alike in Thailand.
I love jigsaws.
When I was searching for what "P" I would share, I forgot about puzzles!
How clever you are!
A great choice for P - thank you for the link, - I'm off to check it out.
Hi Tumblewords! It so happens that I also like puzzles. I got this site from Patty Lincoln: http://www.jigzone.com/
I use it every day. I shall try yours too! Thanks.
It is many years since I did puzzles (when the children were small) - maybe I should try again? And I have never understood sudoku.
Thanks for the link, I'm going to check it out, even though I'm not a fan of puzzles.
The daughter likes the jigsaw puzzles. As Yul Brynner once said, "It's a puzzlement!"

What a marvellous idea! Thank you for this. :)
I love jigsaw puzzles and so do several members of my family. They're very addictive. I will try the link - thank you for that :-)
I am not good in puzzles ^_^. Great choice for letter P. Happy Wednesday!

My wife has spent hours playing jigsaw puzzles on the computer - it is an old program - doesn't like long filenames which can be problem importing photos - it may be worth upgrading to a newer program.
We have a communal jigsaw on the go - around 1000 pieces - some take about a week to complete but others take three or four months!
I do love puzzles...off to check the link out....great P
Grate word. Very well thought.
What a fun "P"! I am going to have to check this out!
wonderful take on the theme!
What a great program. I could definitely get into puzzles with this. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Its a fun pastime and it sharpen your brain as well.
What a great idea! We won't have to worry about getting senile anytime soon!
I don't think I've actually done a jigsaw puzzle since I was a kid... my late great auntie was well into them, but then she grew up in the pre-television era. Now I'm getting tired of technology the idea of putting my own photos into puzzles really appeals... even if I DO need a computer to play on, haha!
Thank you for visiting my p-post!
I didn't think of the word "puzzle", which is a very good p-word indeed! Also, it was news to me that you can work a puzzle on the computer.
Best wishes,
Anna
I used to like jigsaws, too, but I haven't done one in years! Maybe I should!
Argh! I should have thought about puzzles. It's amazing how the mind goes blank when your trying to think of something.
I am sorry I have no patience for puzzles. Got some for my kids, but I have never completed one.
At work, I let my kids play with virtual puzzles and they love it.
Great program! No more agonizing over the missing pieces at the end of a 5,000-piece masterpiece...
hahaha..nice choice of P...
i only play puzzle if it is not so complicated hahaha
Thanks for the comment anyway.
An artist's eye for colour is a great advantage in jigsaw completion.
My mother always had one on the go; how difficult it is to pass a table and not attempt to put a couple of pieces in.
