L1 - The Battery Put the piece in the battery.
L2 - Time Machine Assemble the time machine you saw before.
L3 - Gravity Gate In this puzzle, you need to get the gate in the middle, in the right orientation. If you don't get it in the middle, you can't zoom into it. And if it's not in the right orientation, the gate won't open. You can rotate the piece, and pieces will fall to the bottom of the screen. There are two possible end states, but generally it will look something like below when solved.

Strange Jigsaws (1981)
Decapieces These pieces have been transformed in strange ways. Here are three matches:

1. JIG and SAW match to make JIGSAW
2. ELZ + ZUP makes "PUZZLE" backwards
3. DANCE (JIG) + HANDTOOL (SAW) go together as well.
More Here are three more matches:

1. If you read the first letters of JAZZ IN GARDENS, and SEEMS AWFULLY WONDERFUL, you get JIGSAW
2. UZPAY + LEZAY is PUZZLE in pig latin.
3. MYST + IFY is MYSTIFY, a synonym of puzzle.
Even More Here are the last four matches:

1. JGA + ISW is the odd and even letters of JIGSAW, respectively.
2. JPIUGZ + SZALWE is JIGSAW and PUZZLE interleaved.
3. JIGPUZ + SAWZLE is JIGSAW and PUZZLE put together.
4. KJH + TBX is JIGSAW, where every letter has been shifted forward by 1.
The Latest in Jigsaw Technology You need to put together these pieces into a square. You can start by moving the "B" piece to the upper left.
More Move "A" to the left and "C" to the lower right.
More Move "A" up, "C" to the lower left, "D" down, and "B" to the right. You've got it from here.
Strange Jigsaws (2025) The door says to put in the path from the void to the door. There is only one path to get there.
You will have to use the arrows.

The Million Piece Jigsaw Puzzle This is an idle game. Make sure you click on upgrades as soon as they're available, and you'll be done with it soon.
The One Where My Daughter Drew Something
Whirlpool You don't have to rotate pieces. They're in their correct orientation, so find a piece that looks like it might fit and drag it over.
Treasure Only two pieces fit together properly. Note that these two are missing elements!
More If you line up the pieces on the right, you'll see that one piece is too small, one piece has the treasure chest too low, and one pieces has the crab too high. On the left pieces, these are all at the same height.
Even More Now if you line up the left pieces, one has the sun too high, one has the crab too low, and one has too small of a treasure chest.
Volcano The first step here is to assemble all three jigsaws. How might they relate to the control panel?
More Each one corresponds to a section of the controls and tells you how to set it. For the second one, the lava is either high or low.
Even More For the first one, it's where the lava stops flowing. For the third one, it's the direction of the lava.
The Blue Temple Start by clicking on the pointer. It gives you a piece and a clue to the next piece.

Strange Jig Saws
Haunted Jig Saw Catch the pieces using the frame. Some of them are a little tricky to catch, but you do not need to be holding the frame for them to snap in.
More There is a hidden piece here at the base of the statue.
Word Saw Make a phrase using the letters. Here's where the first piece goes.
More Here's the grid mostly completed.
Three Circular Saws in a Trenchcoat Follow the instructions to place the pieces. Here's where the "T" shaped piece goes.

More If you follow the arrows in order, it spells "HAPPY PUZZLING".
Jigsaws on Tape
The one with a really long path This puzzle gives you the instructions as you assemble it. You need to make a single path that goes through all paths. There's only one place for the start and the end.
More Here's one possible solution.
The one where you have to put the pieces in order Triangle goes in the third place, and the original order is shown down below. Square can't go on the end, so which piece can it swap with?
More Square has to swap with star. Now how can we have one piece in the original spot?
The one that just says things like "up", "down", etc. Start at the play symbol. You're looking for the shape of moving on the grid.
More The first letter is P.
I've solved everything else. What now? We have some snippets of FLEB saying words. What can we say that's relevant to this area, and the playbutton on the top?
More You need to say "STRANGE JIGSAWS", by saying each syllable in order using the buttons.
I've beaten the worlds... now what?
The Laser You need to use the rotate buttons to move the laser to meet the target in the lower right. It bounces off the mirrors.
I have solved everything beyond the door.
Strange Jigsaws (prototype)
Unusual Padlock There is a map in the puzzle, where each rectangle corresponds to a screen in the prototype.

For instance, the middle image corresponds to the main screen. The third letter in the second word on that screen is "G"
More The unused letter in "Which piece is missing?" is "B".
The letter behind the cloud in 20 small mazes is "I"

The letter from the clue on the door page is "E"

There is no clue for the last letter.
Even More The letters go in the boxes according to their screen position.
This spells "BEGI?", which you can fill in (or spin the wheel) to figure out is "BEGIN".
Which piece is missing? This puzzle is about figuring out three small puzzles.
1 This spells a word, which you've seen all over the game. It's missing a letter.
More The word is JIGSAW, and it's missing the G.
2 If you imagine assembling the pieces as a 3x2 jigsaw, one piece is missing.
3 If you open Strange Jigsaws 2, you'll see this character.
20 Small Mazes There are exactly as many squares to fill as squares in the pieces. Only a few pieces fit with the exit, and most of them leave an empty square next to them. The only piece that fits there properly, and you can connect to, is shown below.
More The long piece has only one place where it fits where it doesn't leave a square open or block the entrance.
Even More There are only two pieces that fit with the long piece, one of which has no further possible connection. Once you place that piece, there is only one possibility for connecting to the start. You can get it from here.
Strange Jigsaws 2
Interesting Dungeon The jigsaws will block your path after you pick them up, so you have to pick them up in the right order. The first two pieces are "B", then "C".
More Third and fourth are "A" and "H".
Even More Fifth is "F", then after that is "D" and "I" in either order.
Edutainment The answers to the quiz are Q1 - A, Q2 - B, Q3 - C. You have to fill in the quiz to answer the questions. Here is where the letters go.
More The questions go like this.
Even More Here is the solution.
The Factory You need to make a little Flebby! Since you start with a square, it makes no sense to start by rotating. Start by adding the eyes on the bottom.
More You need to turn to add the tab or the hole. I like to turn it right, then add the hole.
Even More If you then turn 180, you can add the tab. Turning left orients you correctly. There is an additional solution by making the tab second, if you're curious.

The Final Puzzle Assemble the puzzle. The blue piece from Text Adventure blends in a little bit. It looks like this when assembled:
