      My covid project was a 5000 pieces puzzle of the capilla sixtina. The first two pieces was God’s finger touching its creation… but that was pure luck. Anyway, I couldn’t get the borders till the very end.

      Side note for the entusiast, a 5000 pieces puzzle means that a ~16 m2 room will be unusable for 6 to 18 months. It’s a pretty fulfilling journey

      How else do you start puzzle? I prefer to start at multiple points in the middle and then connect them.

        The “normal” way of starting a puzzle is to start with the edges. You can find the edge pieces easier due to the flat side, which makes it a good place to start when you have many pieces.

        You have to spread all the pieces out when you get them out of the box, so it makes sense to separate out the edge pieces while you’re spreading and flipping pieces.
