There’s no better way to beat the classic jigsaw puzzle when it comes to gaming, and there are now several ways to play this favorite pastime digitally on your smartphone, tablet, or computer for free. Here are some of the best ways to play jigsaw puzzles online for free. Puzzles are available on the web unless otherwise noted.

Microsoft Jigsaw is a free jigsaw puzzle app for Windows tablets and computers that supports both mouse and touchscreen controls. Themed puzzle collections can be unlocked by completing puzzles and by purchasing them with in-game coins that can be earned during gameplay. The option to create your own puzzles using an image on your device or by taking a photo is also available.

What sets Microsoft Jigsaw apart is its Jigsaw Jam mode, which makes solving a puzzle more of a race against the clock than a slow-paced activity, and Xbox network connectivity. The latter allows users to log in with their Xbox account from their Xbox 360 or Xbox One console and rank on online leaderboards and unlock Xbox achievements, something no other jigsaw app offers.

Magic Jigsaw Puzzles is by far one of the best designed free jigsaw puzzle apps on the Google Play Store. The app has a clean design that makes it easy to find puzzles and start playing without having to navigate through multiple menus or screens. Magic Jigsaw Puzzles does offer a range of puzzles that you can purchase with real money, starting at $1.45, but the focus of the app remains on highlighting the thousands of free apps, which is a refreshing change.
