I know there is another post somewhere on this....I used to struggle with Mosaic. Then one day it just clicked. Now it is the easiest puzzle for me. I start my memorizing a few pieces on one side and then generally knowing something unique about another section. So, for example, floors and tile floors/stones are usually easiest. If I have a puzzle with these I just note the bottom is floor. I look for the red carpet area in the rooms that have that. Then I might glance at the puzzle to see where the sky or a window is. From there I hit start. Immediately I put the floor or ground pieces in. Next I put in the sky or window or tree or whatever higher up distinguishing piece stood out...sometimes a set of stairs (like in the library) or sometimes a snowy roof. Then I shoot for the middle. The secret is to move one piece to where you want it. And then put all the others that just moved one space BACK. Next pick another piece...this way I usually finish with another minute on the timer. I'll try in the next week to grab some screen video of me playing so others can see how I do this. I never realized you could remove a piece off to the side but that feature could only help LOL. bumping this thread for others who may be struggling.
