Some Helpful Hints for Solving the Basket Puzzles

• You do not need to rotate any puzzle pieces. The pieces are properly aligned.
• If you think you have a missing piece, it's probably hidden under other pieces. Grab and move the puzzle around a bit to reveal the hidden pieces or use the shuffle button.
• Move the pieces by clicking on them and dragging them to where you want to place them. You will hear a sound (if your computer has a sound card) when two correct pieces are joined.
• You can make a puzzle harder or easier by clicking on the "Shapes" button and selecting another version of the puzzle. I will try to offer links to several versions of each puzzle on the Basketry Fun and Games Menu.
• What does the Shuffle button do? Pieces that are not yet placed correctly in the puzzle are mixed up and placed into view if they were beneath other pieces.
• The timer clock lets time yourself solving the puzzle. If you ever need to pause the timer, just click on it.
• If you have a picture that you'd like for me to use as a puzzle at the BasketMakers site, email me. Pictures need to 400 pixels wide and 300 pixels high and approximately 20K.
• You need to have Java enabled on your web browser. Older versions of web browsers and WebTV viewers will not be able to play because their browsers don't support these Java based features.
• Answers to other technical questions can be found on Jigzone's FAQ list.
