PuzzleDIY is a simple application that allows you to create jigsaw puzzles with your own images. You just select a folder with images, choose one image, and the application will divide it into small squares and scramble the pieces. To arrange and swap pieces you just have to click on them and drag them to the desired location.
The program includes several grid sizes, ranging from 1x1 to 24x24, so you can select exactly the difficulty level according to your skills. If you need to take a look at the original image for guidance, you have to click on the "Show Original Image" tab and then click on the "Continue playing" tab to continue with the game. All the games are timed. Sadly, the application won't tell you when you have completed a puzzle and the time keeps running. I think that's some kind of a bug. The application features a very simple user interface, and sadly, neither sounds nor music.
Thus, if you are looking for a simple application to create jigsaws puzzles with your images and play with them, PuzzleDIY may be interesting for you.
