This white horse is wearing a fly fringe, a browband with dangling tassels that hang over its eyes like a fringe of beads, and it’s sticking its pink tongue out for good measure. Between the hairdo and the raspberry, it’s got real attitude.
About this puzzle
A fly fringe does a simple job. Horses can’t reach their own faces to swat flies away, so the tassels swing as the horse moves and keep insects off the eyes. It’s a very old idea, and it also happens to give any horse the look of someone who’s just had their hair done.
In this photo the horse’s pale coat and long cream mane fill the left of the frame, with the purple halter and dark tassels crossing the face and the pink tongue poking out at the bottom. Behind it a stone wall and a row of pale bricks are blurred into the background.
How to play
Pick a piece count, then move pieces with a mouse or by touch. Correct fits click into place and lock. The finished image is there to preview whenever you like, and there’s no clock running.
Tips for solving this one
Start with the halter and the tassels, which give you strong dark lines across the face. The pink tongue is a small, easy landmark. Then build the white face and cream mane outward, sorting the pale pieces by how much shadow they carry. The blurred wall behind is the last area to fill.
Common questions
Is it free?
Yes. Every puzzle on the site is free, and you don’t need an account to play.
Does it work on a phone?
It does. The board fits a phone screen, though the pale mane and wall are easier to sort on a tablet.
Can I change the difficulty?
Yes. Set the piece count before you start. The white on white areas get much tougher with more pieces.
Will it save my progress?
Progress is kept while the tab is open. Close it and the board resets for next time.
