Jigsaw Puzzles We Love

Puzzles can be a relaxing and meditative way to spend an afternoon—especially a drizzly or snowy one. When I was younger I didn’t really understand this, preferring to spend my time with more interactive or social games and activities. But over the past few years, when I didn’t have as many options to socialize with friends and found myself tired of staring at a screen, I became more open to the quiet, intense focus that solving a puzzle can bring. Conversations with puzzle-loving co-workers have only deepened this appreciation, so I’ve collected a number of their recommendations here.
