Talking Tom and Friends Jigsaw Puzzle

Talking Tom and Friends Jigsaw Puzzle gives you the gang together in a single frame rather than one character on their own, and that changes how the whole thing is solved. Grey fur, white fur, brown, ginger: everyone in the picture is a different colour from everyone standing next to them.

That turns one large puzzle into several small ones sitting side by side. A grey piece belongs to Tom, a brown piece does not, and you can work on two characters at once without them interfering. The awkward pieces are the seams, where an arm crosses in front of somebody else and a single piece carries two colours at once. Those are worth setting aside until both characters around them are already standing.

How to play

Start along the outside, since the straight edged pieces frame the picture and cost nothing to identify. Then take the outlines: any piece where a character's fur meets the background has a strong curve running across it, and those curves show you roughly where each character stands. Fill in the solid colour inside each outline afterwards. Leave the two colour pieces from the overlaps for last, when there is a gap of a known shape waiting for them.

Controls

One action covers the game: drag. Click and hold a piece, move it where you think it belongs, and let go. Drop it near the right place and it fixes itself in; drop it anywhere else and it stays loose on the board with no penalty. Phones and tablets use a finger drag instead of the mouse.
