History of Jigsaw Puzzles

The history of jigsaw puzzles dates back to the 16th century when the oldest known traces of such games were seen in London.

Initially, this puzzle was invented by John Spilsbury as an educational toy to teach geography. Jigsaw puzzle is related with this word, where parents used it as an educational toy for their children which emphasized pattern recognition and geometry.

What is a Jigsaw Puzzle?

A jigsaw puzzle is a game in which the player assembles various shaped pieces into a picture.

The pieces are cut to fit together, and each piece has a small part of the picture on it.

Facts About Jigsaw Puzzles

Who invented the jigsaw puzzle?

Jigsaw puzzles were originally created in the 1760s by John Spilsbury, a London engraver and mapmaker. He mounted one of his maps on wood and cut around the countries to create an educational tool to teach geography.

Where did jigsaw puzzle get its name?

The term "jigsaw" came to be associated with the puzzles even though the saws used were more fine-toothed marquetry tools, not the actual jigsaw tools we think of today. It's believed that the term became popular later as it was a good descriptor of the intricate, interlocking pieces that characterized the puzzles.

Irony of Missing Pieces

Ever finish a puzzle only to find one piece is missing? It's almost a rite of passage for puzzle enthusiasts. Some people joke that there's a parallel universe made entirely of missing socks and jigsaw puzzle pieces.

What is the biggest puzzle in the world?

The "What a Wonderful World" jigsaw puzzle by Dowdle Folk Art is hailed as the world's largest commercially available jigsaw puzzle. This colossal challenge features 60,000 pieces and measures an impressive 8 feet by 29 feet when assembled. It's composed of 60 interlocking 1,000-piece puzzles, each featuring one of 187 unique Dowdle paintings, representing vibrant and iconic locations from around the world.

What is the fastest jigsaw puzzle record?

The Guinness World Record for the fastest time to complete a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle in competition is held by Sarah Mills from the United Kingdom. She achieved this feat in 1 hour and 40 minutes during the 2020 British Puzzle Championship.

What are the popular puzzle pieces shapes?

Traditional jigsaw puzzles are made of pieces with knobs and holes, known as interlocking style. However, there are many variations, including puzzles with pieces shaped like animals, letters, or other objects.
