Stuck on a jigsaw piece? PuzzleLens is a puzzle solver for real jigsaw puzzles: scan the puzzle's picture once, photograph the piece you're stuck on, and see where it goes in seconds. Hunting for one piece across a 1000-piece picture takes minutes, and the piece usually isn't where you're looking. PuzzleLens tells you the row, the column and which way to turn the piece. As much hint as you want, as little as you want You don't have to see the answer straight away. Each "Give a hint" narrows the area step by step; or tap "Show the exact spot" to see the piece itself placed on the picture at the right angle, with which way to turn it. How much help you take is your choice, and how many hints a puzzle took is kept in your records. It says so when it isn't sure Sky, water, flat colour areas… some pieces genuinely can't be told apart on their own. PuzzleLens tells you plainly when it isn't sure; you can narrow it down hint by hint, and if the spot it shows is wrong it moves on to the next likely one. You learn which areas will be hard while you're still setting the puzzle up. Everything on your device Piece recognition runs entirely on your iPhone. No internet needed, and your photos don't go anywhere. Your puzzle gallery In progress, finished, set aside. Every puzzle gets a progress mosaic: placed pieces in colour, the rest dimmed. One picture that tells you where you left off. With friends Sign in if you want, add friends and share your progress.
