More puzzles to play
A stocky white English bulldog puppy stands on a green lawn with one paw planted on a bright yellow ball, tongue out and looking pleased with itself. The ball is a strong pop of color against the grass and the dog’s pale coat. It is a playful picture that turns into a fun, medium puzzle.
About this puzzle
The puppy is mostly white with a few grey and tan patches on its back and around one ear, and the wrinkled bulldog face is front and center with the pink tongue showing. Its right front paw rests on top of a scuffed yellow rubber ball. The background is plain mown grass with a little moss, slightly out of focus.
The English bulldog descends from dogs once used in the cruel sport of bull baiting, which was banned in Britain in 1835. Breeders then reshaped the dog into a calmer companion, though its flat face still gives it that distinctive snuffly breathing.
How to play
Pick a piece count, then drag pieces with your mouse or finger. When two match they snap together and stay put. There is no time limit, and the reference image and shuffle button are there if you need them.
Tips for solving this one
The yellow ball is the easiest piece cluster to find and place, so start there. Then build the face using the dark folds and the pink tongue as guides. The white body against the pale grass is the tricky zone, so work it last and watch for the grey patches and the shadow under the belly.
