Elephant Silhouette Jigsaw
Twelve silhouette images, each solvable in the mode you choose.
Silhouettes make an unusual jigsaw subject and a surprisingly demanding one. With most of the picture reduced to a single dark shape against a bright background, there is far less internal detail to navigate by than a photograph would give you.
What that leaves is the outline. Nearly every placement decision comes down to where a piece’s edge of shadow sits, which makes the set considerably harder than its twelve-image size implies.
Modes are selectable per image, so the difficulty is yours to set rather than fixed by the picture.
Controls
Click an image, choose a mode, then drag the pieces.
How to Play
- Pick one of the twelve images.
- Choose the mode you want to play it at.
- Sort pieces into shadow, background and boundary.
- Build the boundary first, then fill inward.
Tips & Tricks
Separate the all-dark and all-light pieces out before you begin. Everything interesting is in the third pile, and that pile is where the puzzle actually is.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are silhouettes harder than photographs?
There is far less internal detail, so almost every placement depends on the boundary between shadow and background.
