Answering your questions...
What's considered a 'good' score?
It varies with both the picture and the level. A good player should be capable of completing each puzzle as follows:
Second level: 2 to 4 minutes and 15 to 40 moves.
Third level: 5 to 8 minutes and 50 to 80 moves
Fourth level: 11 to 20 minutes and 100 to 150 movesHINT: Each puzzle is created anew from the pictures we provide, therefore you can select each picture many times at each level and solve a different jumble each time!
Which pictures are easiest?
It can be deceptive, but "English Cars", "Greek Ruins" and "Beach Stairs" are probably the easiest.
Which pictures are hardest?
It changes by level, but "Cactus", "Turkish Spices" and "Fancy Lights" are probably the hardest at all levels. At the fourth level, "Pacific Sunset" and "Hidden Beach" become very challenging to finish.
REQUEST: Let us know your best score at the hardest (fourth) level for solving "Cactus". Post your result on the JigJumble Facebook page, or email us with it.
Where did you get the pictures?
We obtained the pictures from friends and family and have permission to use them with JigJumble. Selecting and cropping the pictures proved to be the hardest part of the development because less than 1% of pictures are suitable for the puzzle.
What are the red crosses when you 'show' a nearly complete puzzle?
When the puzzle is over 75% complete and you "show" the picture, out of position pieces are briefly marked with a red cross:

Playing JigJumble
If you've previously successfully finished unjumbling a picture at the current difficulty level, your best times are listed.
On this screen you can:
* View all the pictures by moving the list up and down
* Go to 'Preferences' by tapping the round button in the bottom right corner
* Select any picture by tapping on it
On this screen you can:
* Choose the degree of difficulty from four options. We recommend you start with the 'Easy' setting and move up gradually as you become more experienced solving the puzzles!
* Select the style, whether the puzzle solving is timed and whether the number of moves is shown.
* Select whether subtle sounds are made during the solving of the puzzles..
To solve the puzzle, tap on any two pieces in sequence to swap their position. Keep doing this until the puzzle is solved.
The displayed puzzle is a picture of the Taj Mahal using the medium difficulty level on a Palm Pre.
To accommodate the smaller screen on the Palm Pixi, the [Show Picture] button is replaced with a small round button (see below), but has the same effect!
To maintain the size of the puzzle while accommodating the smaller screen of the Palm Pixi, we now support full screen mode.
We also provide buttons to switch between full and standard screen mode.
The displayed puzzle is a picture of an orchid using the medium difficulty level on a Palm Pixi.
