An Atlantic puffin is settled down on a grassy clifftop with its eyes half closed, looking thoroughly content, while a spray of bluebells blooms in the corner beside it. With that painted face and sleepy expression, it’s a puffin having a very good day.
About this puzzle
Puffins nest in burrows dug into the soft turf on top of sea cliffs, often right among the wildflowers, and they’re remarkably loyal. Most pairs stay together for life and come back to the very same burrow year after year, sometimes for twenty years or more.
In this photo the bird’s black wings and white chest sit low on a hummock of green grass, with the orange and yellow beak and a hint of orange feet giving the picture its color. The bluebells fill the bottom left, and behind everything is a wide, pale gray sky.
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 beak and the white face, then the bluebells in the corner, since they’re the only purple on the board. Build the black wings and the grass hummock next. The pale gray sky is most of the picture and has no detail, so save it for last and work in from the edges.
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 big plain sky 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 sky 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.
