Me. I've got a couple to do. They can become compulsive, especially in a long lockdown.

My daughter-in-law works for a kids toy company (a small one) and their sales of jigsaws through Amazon have boomed

Re: Jigsaw puzzles
According to Caitlin Moran every middle class lockdown home has an unfinished posh one on the go: some classic art work with just the edges done before being abandoned - in favour of virtual pub drinking sessions on zoom heavily featuring Hendricks & Fever Tree Tonic, where they can compare how their sourdough starter is just so amazing.

Re: Jigsaw puzzles
I use a Jigsaw game on the laptop, which is quite fun.
All the pieces are the right way up and orientation. It's alright and passes the time between meals.

Re: Jigsaw puzzles
We've been through three 1,000 piece jigsaws already. They were landscapes of Paris, London and New York. The hardest one was Paris, as the majority of it was featureless blue sky either side of the Eifel Tower.

Re: Jigsaw puzzles
We tried a Paris one too and also thought it was hard, possibly because a number of pieces of Notre Dame were missing.
