Jigsaw puzzles for adults are becoming more popular in America. The puzzles have pieces of different shapes that, when put together, form a picture. People attend puzzle nights at coffee shops and libraries. Manufacturers design puzzles that have original artwork or even family photos. A.J. Jacobs is working on a book about puzzles, including jigsaws and crosswords. “I was not as passionate about jigsaw puzzles at first, but once I started doing them, I saw the loveliness of these puzzles,” he said. Jacobs added, “Puzzles are a very soothing and joyous way to spend a couple of hours.” Jigsaw fans say the puzzles help ease daily stress. In addition, the puzzles give them a chance to step away from electronic devices.
