Daily Jigsaw
One new painting every day, the same one for everyone.
How to play
- Today’s painting is the same for everyone and changes at midnight UTC.
- Drag each piece onto the board — close enough to home and it clicks in and stays put.
- Pick 12, 24, 48 or 96 pieces to suit how long you have.
- Finish it and the puzzle names the painting and its painter, with a link to the museum’s record.
What it trains
- A single, shared puzzle a day — a habit rather than an endless feed
- Visual and spatial reasoning, plus one painting you did not know before
- No timer, no ads, no account, and nothing to lose
The jigsaw puzzle of the day: one painting, the same for everybody, changing at midnight UTC. Free online jigsaw puzzles with no download, no ads and no account — choose 12 to 96 interlocking pieces and drag them home. Every picture is a public-domain work from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, so when the last piece goes in you find out what you have been assembling and who painted it, and your half-finished puzzle waits for you if you close the tab.
