jigsaw puzzle
any set of varied, irregularly shaped pieces that, when properly assembled, form a picture or map. The puzzle is so named because the picture, originally attached to wood and later to paperboard, was cut into its pieces with a jigsaw, which cuts intricate lines and curves. Jigsaw puzzles may be very complicated vis-a-vis the number of pieces and the number of different cuts and thus take many hours to complete
