Как устроен раздел пазлов?

The site has many varieties of puzzles and other picture-based games. To start playing, you need to click on the size of the puzzle in the column with the desired game. Size shows the number of pieces and the aspect ratio (for example, 8x6 means 8 lines by 6 columns, i.e. 48 pieces in puzzles or 48 cells in other games).

We have the usual classic puzzles, which probably all people on the planet know about, in two different functionalities.

1. "Horizontal", "vertical", "panoramic".
2. "Curly", "straight", "sharp", "wavy".

The first version, or as former players know it, the "old version", appeared at the dawn of the site's existence and has changed little since then, but is still the most popular among players. Parts can only be dragged one at a time, poorly suited for mobile devices. Part outlines vary in different sizes. Horizontal, these are jigsaw puzzles based on 800x600 pictures placed horizontally. Vertical - the same, only in portrait mode. Panoramic - a puzzle based on a wide 1200x600 pixel picture. The player who downloads the puzzle chooses the available options himself. The second "new" version has more advanced functionality. It is always built on the basis of a picture in a higher resolution. There are tips, the ability to choose the size of the field, details, how the details will be scattered, where the field will be located, you can play on tablets and smartphones. Any size can be assembled with parts of 4 different shapes, which can be changed by saving the puzzle beforehand. In addition to the usual puzzles, there are other no less exciting games. Polyomino puzzles are almost the same as simple puzzles, but the pieces are shaped like polyominoes. As a rule, there are already fragments of the image on the field.

Belarusian and multi-puzzles - the picture is assembled by rearranging the details. The spots are like ordinary tags, but instead of dice with numbers (or together with them) there are fragments of images.
Shifters - click on numbers according to certain rules to open a picture.
Filipino puzzles - you need to connect the same numbers with curved lines so that in the end the whole picture opens.

For each game, you can choose the size and modification (for example, for tags, belpuzzles - with or without numbers, for polyominoes - the type of parts).

For newly added pictures, only the first two games are available (ie old and new puzzles). The rest of the games on the puzzle selection page appear only when some player creates them. You can create any game based on a picture with the desired size by clicking on the "puzzles for hints" button and choosing the desired option. Hints can be bought with coins, which you receive after you have solved and evaluated the puzzle. You can also learn the crafting system and get hints much cheaper, but that's another story. After that, the size you have chosen becomes available to anyone and appears on the puzzle page. For historical reasons, ordinary puzzles available without prompts (both old and new versions) are separate. All information about your saves, the speed of solving, estimates are not taken into account in achievements, these puzzles are not added to the missions, they have a separate rating and statistics. Evaluation is done for the entire puzzle, the prize is drawn only once at the first evaluation made. Everything else, created by you or other players for hints, is a separate puzzle, with all the nuances that follow from this: taken into account in achievements, can be added to missions, for each puzzle there is a separate page with descriptions, comments, statistics, drop drops, etc. By the way, the “new version” of puzzles has its own analogue for hints, the section with such puzzles is signed as the classic version in the menu. If in one of the columns of the new version of the puzzles (i.e. curly, straight, sharp, wavy) the size is highlighted in bold, this means that the link leads exactly to the puzzle created using the hints.

Any player can upload their own pictures, from which you can create puzzles and other games. The image must not be copyrighted, or you own it, or you have a license to distribute it. In addition, the picture should not only be beautiful and of high quality, but also be suitable as a puzzle and other puzzles. After you have added the picture, the site community, sometimes the administration, vote whether the picture meets the above criteria, whether it has duplicates. You can also vote, the more active and longer you play on the site, the more significant your vote. In addition, several people have the status of a moderator, whose vote has more weight.
