How To Solve 1000-piece Puzzle

Last update: 8th, Aug, 2023.

Deduction is like a puzzle. A big messy chaos with the ultimate goal of a beautiful picture.

You solve it by connecting pieces together, one by one until the last piece. But you need to find matching pieces in a pile of chaos.

How do you navigate through that mess?

You start from the border.

Border pieces are easier to navigate with its distinct flat edges that no other pieces have. They also can only connect to 2 other pieces.

Then you separate pieces of the same color, same patterns.

With its colorful characteristics, we can easily separate them apart. Once laying them out, we can easily connect them and slowly we form big main regions of the whole picture.

Lastly, connecting border and big regions.

This is the hardest part of the puzzle. Everything left looks the same, yet, you can’t match just anything together.

This is also the most time-consuming part of the puzzle, but it is the act that connect everything together. With trials, you slowly pick up the hidden patterns, know why some piece would connect with some but not others, then continue separating them into smaller piles until your progress start picking up.
