Prepare the Workspace: Find a flat, hard surface larger than the final puzzle size. Use a puzzle mat if you need to move it later.Flip All Pieces
Upright: Turn every single piece picture-side up so you can see colors and patterns clearly.
Separate the Borders: Find all pieces with at least one straight, smooth edge. Connect them first to build the outside frame.
Sort by Color and Pattern: Group the remaining middle pieces into piles based on dominant colors, textures, or specific image elements.
Assemble the Details: Work on easily identifiable sections first, such as faces, text, or distinct objects.
Fill in the Gaps: Connect your finished small sections to the main frame, then fill in the solid-colored background areas using piece shapes.
