Jigsaw Menu
Save Puzzle Progress
This option will save your current progress in assembling the puzzle. Your saved progress will automatically be restored when you reload the puzzle.
Open Preview
Opens a preview of the puzzle. You can move, resize and minimize the preview window.
Show Only Edges
Shows only edge pieces. Select again to show all pieces.
Rotate Pieces
Enable/disable rotation. When enabled, pieces are randomly rotated when the puzzle is mixed up so you must turn them to the correct orientation before you can connect them to other pieces. Remember that each piece needs to be right-side-up in order to connect with other pieces. Rotate a piece by holding down the shift key while clicking on it. Each [Shift][click] rotates a piece by one quarter of a turn clockwise. Once connected, pieces cannot be rotated and remain in the correct orientation. Puzzles are much more challenging with rotation enabled.
Move Pieces
When selected, the cursor is followed by a large round 'broom' which can click and drag several pieces at once. When clicked, pieces grabbed by the broom hilite. The broom only affects loose pieces.
Mix-up Puzzle
Select this to mix-up the pieces and play again.
Solve Puzzle
If you get impatient, select Solve Puzzle and the puzzle will assemble itself.
When you complete the puzzle you get a message on the upper right that tells you how long you took to complete the puzzle. It says "congratulations" if you put the puzzle together all by yourself without using the Solve Puzzle command.
