White Jigsaw


This starts out easy, but every time you successfully complete one of the all-white puzzles, you get another one with more pieces. I can't seem to stop playing... I want to know how large the final puzzle gets! If anyone gets there, let me know.

I like the puzzle interface at:

You can optionally rotate the pieces and set the number of pieces to make it harder.

At some point in the past, I had a puzzle called Spilt Milk. It was 350 pieces and all white and the final puzzle looked like a puddle of milk. No straight edges, anywhere. The puzzle came in a milk carton shaped box. It took me some time but I finally finished it. I have to wonder how that got lost in some move.

Apparently there are people who have the time, perseverance and insane fortitude to get up to 33x24 and are still going. Wow!

I really like this game. It didn't take long to get a system down to organize the pieces after the edges are done. I am up to 13x9 and not planning on stopping...

Is there any way to save your game so you don't have to replay when you go back?

I got up to 16x12, but my algorithm is about O(n^2). I wish I could use a computer to solve these, because there's an obvious O(n lg(n)) solution if I had some automation.
