Annie's Puzzles Online

Annie’s Puzzles Online is a section of Annie’s Resource Attic with puzzles made using photos or artwork from various activity sets. You access these puzzles by going to them from your browser, just as you would go to any other web page, and then work the puzzle online.

The puzzles are hosted on Jigsaw Planet, a site that lets you upload images, choose a layout, and instantly turn the image into a puzzle. One option is to embed these puzzles into a web page. That’s how they come to Annie’s Resource Attic.

The following tips will help you get the most out of the online puzzles. Scroll down below these suggestions or click here for an index with links to all the puzzles. Each online puzzle also has a link at the foot of the main page for that activity set.

Full-Screen

Toggles full-screen view and returns to Annie’s Puzzles Online on the page where you started.

RESTART Restart the puzzle, scattering pieces and setting time to 0. This control only appears once you finish a puzzle.

Also keep in mind the following information:

  • Click or touch pieces to select them. Drag the pieces around. When pieces match correctly, you’ll hear a click as they join.
  • Scroll down below the puzzle for links to this page, the activity set main page, and the Annie’s Resource Attic home page.
  • I chose portrait orientation for ease in use on tablets and phones. That means you must scroll down to see puzzle controls and links buttons on monitors and laptops.
  • Use full-screen view while working the puzzle, especially on monitors and laptops. Toggle back to regular view, then scroll down to access buttons when you are done.
  • Expect to wait a few seconds for loading. The puzzle page has to go to the host site, grab the puzzle, and load the puzzle.
  • If you need more space, consider temporarily closing the Bookmarks and Navigation toolbars.
  • Puzzles are now run by javascript and HTML 5, and are compatible with all modern browsers, including those on mobile devices.
  • If you have a very old system, you may still need an updated version of the Java plug-in installed and active. The Java plug-in has been inactivated for browsers in Mac OSX 10.5 or earlier, as of May 2012, to prevent users from possibly getting malware.
