More puzzles to play
A bay horse has its head hanging out over a wooden stable door, eyes half closed, with the tip of its pink tongue poking out from between its lips. It’s the most relaxed horse you’ll see all day, and it has absolutely no idea how silly it looks.
About this puzzle
When a horse is properly relaxed its lower lip goes slack, its eyelids droop and sometimes the tongue slips out a little, just like this. It’s the equine version of dozing off in an armchair. A horse that’s worried or alert keeps its mouth closed tight, so a loose tongue is a good sign.
In this photo the horse’s dark brown coat and black mane sit against pale, honey colored wooden boards, with the stable door taking up the bottom of the frame and the open doorway dark behind. The soft eye and the little pink tongue are the two details that make the picture.
How to play
Pick a piece count, then drag pieces around with your mouse or a finger. When one lands where it belongs it snaps in and stays. You can peek at the full picture any time, and there’s no timer.
Tips for solving this one
Start with the head, using the eye, the nostril and the pink tongue as anchors. Then build the neck and mane back into the dark doorway. The wooden boards have straight grain lines and a metal edge to guide you, so do the door next and leave the dark interior for last.
Common questions
Is it free?
Yes, completely. No account, no payment, no catch. Just pick a puzzle and go.
Does it work on a phone?
It does. The board resizes to fit your screen, and the strong lines of the stable door make this one easy to follow on a phone.
Can I change the difficulty?
Yes. Choose the number of pieces before you start. Fewer pieces for a quick play, more if you want the wood grain to really test you.
Will it save my progress?
Your progress holds as long as the tab stays open. Close it and the next visit starts fresh.
