Question 1 of 9

Each answer opens the next question and shapes your plan.

Where are you?

This decides whether you get buying advice or a start plan.

How many pieces?

The single biggest factor in difficulty and how much table you'll need.

Who's solving it?

This changes how much structure the plan gives you.

What's the picture mostly like?

You don't need to judge difficulty. Just tell us what the image is; we read the difficulty from there.

Is there a large area that's nearly one color?

A big sky, water, a wall, or a plain background. It's usually the slowest part to solve.

What surface will you actually use?

Pick what you'll really have, not the ideal setup.

How much sorting before you build?

Some solves reward patience up front; some don't need it.

What do you most want to avoid?

We'll put this first in your plan.

How long do you usually puzzle in one sitting?

Short sessions need a setup that is easy to restart.

For puzzles that take days, not minutes.

Pause it. Protect it. Pick up where you left off.
