More puzzles to play
Two chestnut foals are nuzzling each other in a meadow that’s absolutely full of yellow buttercups, one resting its chin across the other’s neck. The colors are glorious and the pose is pure sweetness. This one’s a joy to look at before you even start.
About this puzzle
Buttercups are mildly toxic to horses when fresh, but they taste bitter and horses know to leave them alone. That’s why paddocks so often end up carpeted in yellow. The horses eat the grass and step around the flowers, so the buttercups just keep spreading.
In this photo the two foals stand side on in the middle of the meadow, their reddish coats and short fluffy manes glowing against the sea of yellow and green. One has a white star on its forehead. Behind them a dark line of trees frames the top of the picture.
How to play
Choose how many pieces you’d like, then move them with a mouse or your finger. A piece in the right spot snaps and locks. Peek at the full image whenever you need to, and there’s no time limit.
Tips for solving this one
Begin with the two foals’ heads where they meet in the middle, then build outward along each body. The buttercup meadow is the big challenge, so sort those pieces by how much yellow versus green they carry and work in bands from the foals outward. The dark trees along the top are a distinct band to finish with.
Common questions
Is it free?
Yes. No cost, no sign up, no strings. Just play.
Does it work on a phone?
It does. The board adapts to your screen, though the speckled buttercup field is easier to handle on a bigger display.
Can I change the difficulty?
Yes. Pick the piece count before you start. Keep it modest for a quick solve, or push it up and let the buttercups make things tough.
Will it save my progress?
The puzzle stays as it is while the tab is open. Once you close it, the next visit begins fresh.
