Introduction

A computer jigsaw puzzle is a popular PC game which involves connecting various irregularly cut ('jig sawed') and interlocking pieces to recreate a complete picture with programs.

Computer jigsaws can be an educational pastime, excellent for killing time or relieving stress, and a great fun game for family and children to share.

Most programs come with a set of pictures in various numbers of pieces. What"s more? Some good free programs have a cool feature to allow you to create a jigsaw puzzle from your own pictures to give it a personal touch. This makes the puzzle even more fun and interesting.
