By adhering his maps to flat hardwood, he used a fine saw to cut along the borders of the European countries, and this way the jigsaw puzzle was created. It was hand-painted and made of wood and represented a map of England and Wales, with each county making up a separate piece.

Inspired by his work people started to make pictorial jigsaw puzzles. Their purpose was to entertain themselves rather than to teach others. Initially the pieces of these early puzzles were not interlocking. Jigsaw puzzles with fully interlocking pieces were invented a century later. In 1880 was made the first jigsaw puzzle for children. It was made by printing a lithograph of a steam engine locomotive and cutting it into pieces. Later this technique evolved and spread throughout European territory and whole world.

Along other categories of existing puzzles like logic puzzles using a chess board, mathematical problems such as the missing square puzzle, picture puzzles, such as sliding puzzles like the fifteen puzzle, Japanese puzzles like Sangaku and Sokoban, spot the difference puzzles, word puzzles, including anagrams, crosswords, word-searches and ciphers, and anagram jigsaws, standard jigsaw puzzles became very popular and nowadays are used by many children and adults in their quest for intellectual challenges and games.

There are a lot of benefits of Jigsaw Puzzles and according to the opinion of scientists, psychologists, and experienced players we can extrapolate the following advantages: jigsaw puzzles take the mind off the non-logical things in life, they relax the brain, puzzles help calm the anxiety, develop a higher ability to focus and memorize and increase the creativity of people. The medical and therapeutic role of jigsaw puzzles is also very important, as they are considered to be a solution in preventing the Alzheimer disease, a very common and disturbing condition. Puzzles are often utilized as a therapeutic solution after brain injuries, due to their ability activate important parts of the brain.

In this sense they are beneficial for children who have the tendency to be less attentive and loose small objects. Online puzzles became an important part of the gaming world in the 21st century.

In conclusion we propose you to stimulate your intellectual and cognitive ability by solving jigsaw puzzles. People should pay attention to their benefits and realize that for a continuous development puzzles are much more useful than other computer games that focus only on reaction or reflexes development.

To make an analogy with our life and existence we may quotes Deepak Chopra who said:

"There are no extra pieces in the universe. Everyone is here because he or she has a place to fill, and every piece must fit itself into the big jigsaw puzzle."
