Puzzlet: Kids Jigsaw Puzzles

About this game

Puzzlet is a simple, beautiful jigsaw puzzle game for children aged 3 to 5. One picture, a few chunky pieces, and a soft click when a piece finds its place.

Simple by design

Tap a picture and pick a size: 4, 6, 9, 12, or 16 pieces, each shown as the real cut. Pieces wait in a tray beside or above a blank board, the way a real table looks. Drag a piece near its place and it clicks home. Forgot the picture? Tap the little picture in the top bar, then tap anywhere to put it away. No timer, no score, no fail state, no reading, no tutorial: the layout is the whole lesson.

Grows with your child

Every picture starts at 4 pieces, and finishing it deals 6 next time, then 9, so the game gets a little harder exactly when your child is ready. A parent can pick any size on any picture, and that pick sticks. A finished picture keeps one quiet star on the shelf, so a child can see at a glance which ones they have done.

Made for small hands

Sixteen calm pictures to choose from: a boat, a house, a balloon, fruit, a lighthouse, an ice cream, a train, a castle, a rocket, a truck, an airplane, flowers, a kite, a windmill, a beach, and a mushroom. Big targets, forgiving drops, three soft sounds, and a switch to turn them off. No music, ever.

Safe and private

No ads. No trackers. No accounts. No in-app purchases. It asks for no permissions at all, not even internet, so it works anywhere, connection or not. No data collected, so nothing shared: everything stays on your device.

Open source

Puzzlet is open source under the MIT license, made by a parent for parents who want the calm kind of screen time. The source code is available on GitHub. Pay once and play forever.
