Unique Puzzles: Your Questions Answered
Learn all about the differences between random cut and whimsy puzzles, find out if these puzzles are harder than regular puzzles, and discover which House of Puzzles jigsaws feature unique pieces.
What are puzzles with different shaped pieces called?
Puzzles with different shaped pieces generally fall into two categories: random cut puzzles and whimsy puzzles. Random cut defines unique shaped puzzles with pieces that vary in size and shape. A whimsy pieces puzzle features specially shaped pieces that resemble specific objects, from animals to vehicles.
Are random cut puzzles harder?
Random cut puzzles are typically harder than ribbon cut puzzles, which follow a standard grid structure, because they feature irregular shapes and do not follow a predictable pattern. Unlike traditional grid-cut puzzles, random cut puzzles with unique shapes can offer a more challenging and rewarding experience for puzzlers.
Which puzzles have unique pieces?
All House of Puzzles jigsaws feature unique shaped puzzle pieces to enhance the puzzle-solving experience. These pieces include a mix of irregular cuts which break away from the standard grid-like design, adding an extra dimension of intrigue and difficulty.
For extra charm and challenge, we also have whimsy jigsaw puzzles! Every puzzle in our Christmas collection features uniquely shaped festive pieces, from jingle bells and gingerbread men to Christmas trees. We have almost 50 jolly jigsaws to choose from for the season, so you can take your pick!
