More puzzles to play
A big chestnut horse has flopped onto its back in the shade of a tree with all four legs waving in the air, while a friend behind it carries on grazing without a second glance. It’s the horse version of a good stretch on the sofa, and it’s very funny to look at.
About this puzzle
Horses roll for all sorts of reasons. It scratches an itch, shakes out loose hair and dust, and coats the skin in a layer of dirt that helps keep the flies off. Old horsemen even used to say a horse that could roll all the way over was worth a bit more than one that couldn’t.
In this photo the rolling horse lies belly up on the grass under a line of trees, hooves pointing skyward and its pale mane spread on the ground. Behind it a second chestnut grazes in a bright green field that sweeps up to the sky, and a low fence runs along the far side.
How to play
Pick your piece count and start dragging, with a mouse or a fingertip. Pieces that fit snap together and hold. The finished picture is always there to preview, and there’s no clock.
Tips for solving this one
Build the upside down horse first, starting with its legs and hooves against the tree trunks. Then do the grazing horse behind it, which is a clear shape in the middle distance. The tree trunks and branches make good vertical anchors. The green field and the sky are the plainest areas, so leave them for last.
Common questions
Is it free?
It is. Every puzzle here costs nothing and needs no account.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It fits a phone screen, though the wide field and the tree branches are easier to sort on a tablet.
Can I change the difficulty?
Yes. Set the piece count at the start. A high count turns all that grass and sky into a serious test of patience.
Will it save my progress?
Progress holds while the tab is open. Close it and your next game starts from scratch.
