carni 10,094 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Well, I have tried again to get the rotating pieces. No luck. I use a laptop. It is not touch screen it is a pad. I chose the Christmas selection to try and solve my little hiccup. There are four Jigsaws that I presume need rotating as they have a little tilted jigsaw icon on the bottom right of jigsaw pictures. I must be missing something (Hubbs reckons its a loose screw, been telling me for years). I have even tried the 'Flowers, Yellow and Red, that Stuart posted, but no Rotation Arrows came up. I will keep trying, though there are plenty of selections I can choose that don't need rotation. By the way, I agree, the times that people can complete the Jigsaws does make you wonder?

Stuart.C 491 Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Brew, if you look at the puzzles a few have the pieces on an angle, these are the ones that can be turned. I only did one and got fed up with that type. Re the times, someone must have found a way of fiddling it, you couldn't move all the pieces into place even if you knew exactly where they went, in the times shown. Like the 2 on the top left / centre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 My two new Wasgij puzzles arrived yesterday. Looks like we have to stay in for a while as CV cases are increasing too quickly. They will keep me busy and keep my brain.from falling asleep. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,143 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I'm still using the Barnsley museum link that CT posted. Some great pictures on there. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Me too BK. I think it's a great site. I don't try to match the speeds, I just enjoy the jigsaws. I do them on and off all day. Hubbs reckons it keeps me out of mischief. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,143 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I don't personally believe those times Carni, nobody's that fast. I also sometimes change the numbers of pieces, if I like the image and there's not enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 BK, I haven't seen the option for changing the number of pieces. Can you tell me how to do it or how to find the instructions please. Will give it a try. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 If it's Jigsaw planet you mean; Then select a puzzle. Along the top of the picture where it shows the Creator there is a PLAY AS , click and a drop down preselect size list comes up, or go to the bottom CUSTOM and you can set your own number of pieces. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,143 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 You can also make it a full screen Carni, by clicking on the icon in bottom right corner of Stu's image above. We're always here to help, fair maid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Thankyou BK, I have just tried it and it makes it so much easier to see on full screen. It just keeps getting better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,143 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Will make it better still....I'll come round and do it for you. Cut out the middle man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,466 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I found this on the City Council website. Not only jigsaws, but Nottingham pictures as well. I haven't tested them to check they actually work. https://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/leisure-and-culture/libraries/local-studies-and-family-history/online-jigsaw-puzzles/?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term= 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart.C 491 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 C-T, the above links to Jigsaw planet as previously listed, they work. I never thought of searching for Nottingham pictures. There's 82 although some not stricty Nottingham scenes; https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=search&q=nottingham 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Just finished the above puzzle. Its one of the original Wasgij puzzles , you imagine what someone sees, like the lady on the ball. I love these puzzles because you have nothing to go by only your imagination. This one got me stumped a few times especially with all the legs and arms. When the puzzle is finished you can really see what its supposed to look like and the pieces you thought were something turn out to be nothing of the sort, like the soles on the gym shoes, I thought it was a type of chainlink fence BTW when you have finished your puzzle what do you do? Demolish it straightaway or leave it a while. It seems a shame to break it up straightaway but I now need the table space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,292 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 nonnaB That puzzle reminds me of a collage of cheeky British seaside post cards with big bums and boobs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
