This week's puzzle is "Crossword Jigsaw" 2017 edition. It's a 550 piece puzzle that is actually a two-part puzzle. First, you solve an actual crossword and then you put together the jigsaw puzzle of what you just solved. The puzzle is made by Babalu Inc.
The puzzle box comes with 1 large copy of the crossword but you can download others from their website (hint: the web link is on the bottom of the inside box: http://crosswordjigsaw.com/2017.)
The crossword part of this puzzle is more fun than the actual jigsaw.
On the plus side, the font for each letter is the same. Meaning that all the "O" all look alike and the hard part is just finding which "O" fits into what area.
I solved this puzzle with my mom while she was visiting. We solved this puzzle by dividing the pieces among three groupings: Edge pieces, Crossword clue pieces, and "number" in the crossword to show the start of each clue word.
There are really only two or three all-white pieces close to the clue side, between the Across and Down lists. The black pieces were placed last, as they could only be placed based on the shape and minor area of white that were cut off.
Box and completed puzzle.
Completed Puzzle
Clues don't quite line up as on the pdf print out. See how #44D has no 2nd line on the completed puzzle but it does have an extra line on the pdf sheet.
Thanks for reading,
