How the photo puzzles play

Five puzzles with a photograph to put back together. Jig is the daily jigsaw. Saw is its tall sibling, the same jigsaw on a portrait photo. Slide is the classic sliding tile puzzle grown to five by five. Swap shuffles every square out of place and lets you trade two at a time. Spin turns nearly every square and asks you to set the picture straight.

Jig cuts a new photograph into 80 interlocking pieces that snap into place, and the clock decides. Saw cuts a portrait photograph taller than wide, in 77 or 80 pieces, and plays the same way. Swap, Slide and Spin take the two jigsaws’ photographs from earlier weeks and ask a different question of each: the fewest swaps to unscramble it, the fewest moves to slide it home through one gap, the fewest taps to turn every square straight.
