Special Edition: Summer Puzzle Fun

As I implied in last week's post, I have something big happening tomorrow. Really big. Probably the biggest thing that's happened in the blog so far, or at the very least, the biggest thing since Laury's Island went to press. So I'm having trouble focusing on anything except preparing.

I could have just skipped this week's post, but where's the fun in that?

About once a year for the last couple of years, I've had a special edition post where I create and provide a puzzle for my readers. This is that post. If you like jigsaw puzzles but don't like having to put them away when the puzzle is finished, this is perfect for you because the entire thing is online and there's no mess. (My parents have become big jigsaw enthusiasts in the last several months, and I decided to do this partly for them.) And I don't have to worry that I'll forget to provide a solution later, because obviously, you won't need that. So if this sounds like something you'd like to try, read on.

This comes courtesy of puzzel.org, where anyone can create interactive puzzles to share with friends, family, students, and - in my case - complete strangers on the internet. You can create an account, but you don't need one to make your own puzzles nor to solve those made by others; you do, however, need a subscription if you want to add certain bells and whistles to your creation. 

This unfortunately includes embedding the puzzle somewhere, which was initially what I hoped I'd be able to do here. So you do have to go to the actual website to solve my puzzle. It's a photo I took of our beloved Capitol Building complex in Harrisburg. It's very easy to solve, especially because there's a background image for reference. Just drag and drop each piece to where it belongs, and once it's correctly positioned, it locks into place. No fuss, no muss, I hope you enjoy it! 


And next week, I'll tell you about this mysterious event I have happening tomorrow. I promise.
