A Shiba Inu sits bolt upright against a bubblegum pink wall wearing a pair of yellow sunglasses, mouth open in that famous Shiba grin. It’s the coolest dog in the room and it knows it. Even the sunglasses look like they were its idea.
About this puzzle
The Shiba Inu is the smallest of Japan’s six native breeds and one of the oldest, originally used to flush birds and small game in the mountains. Shibas are famous for their fox like faces, their tidy curled tails and a wide, upturned mouth that people call the Shiba smile.
This one is showing that smile off. Its coat is the classic red with a cream chest, belly and legs, and the tail curls neatly over its back. The yellow sunglasses and the pink background make the whole picture pop, with the pale floor adding a strip of contrast along the bottom.
How to play
Set how many pieces you want and start dragging, by mouse or by touch. Matching pieces click together and lock. The finished image is a tap away if you need a look, and nothing’s timed.
Tips for solving this one
Begin with the yellow sunglasses and the open mouth, since they’re the most distinctive pieces on the board. Then build the red and cream body downward to the paws. The pink wall is one flat color, so it’s the hard part. Use the edges and the pale floor line at the bottom to place those pieces.

Yes. There’s no charge and nothing to sign up for. Every puzzle on the site is free to play.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It works on phones and tablets, though the big plain pink wall is a bit easier to sort on a larger screen.
Can I change the difficulty?
You can. Set the piece count at the start of each game. Low for a relaxed few minutes, high if you want that pink wall to fight back.
Will it save my progress?
