Annie’s Puzzles Online is a section of Annie’s Resource Attic with puzzles made using photos from various activity sets. You work these puzzles online by going to them from your browser, just as you would go to any other web page.
The puzzles are hosted on a web page called Jigsaw Planet that lets you upload photos, choose a puzzle layout, and instantly turn the image into a puzzle with pieces you can drag into place.
One option with these instant puzzles is to embed them in a web page, and that’s how they come to Annie’s Resource Attic.
- Expect to wait a few minutes while loading. The puzzle page has to go to the host site, grab the puzzle, open Java (the code that runs these puzzles), and load the puzzle.
- Drag the pieces around. When pieces match correctly, you’ll hear a click.
- Notice the small floating toolbar. It lets you see the image, project a ghost image as a hint, and scatter the pieces.
- If you need more space, consider temporarily closing the Bookmarks and Navigation toolbars. Full Screen seems to interfere with the puzzle, though, so don’t use it.
Here is an index to all the online puzzles, although they are also accessible from the main post for each activity set.
