"Puzzles are a lovely way to pass the time when you're stuck inside during these cold months. You can do a puzzle alone or with a group, all at once or over the course of days or weeks, while enjoying your favorite show or in total focused silence. It's something to do with your hands, it makes you use your brain, and it doesn't involve a phone or computer. Sounds pretty ideal to me."
"The video shows her picking up a puzzle (she recommends the Galison brand, and commenters seem to agree), opening the box, and setting aside any "edge pieces" that are immediately visible. Once you have a decent pile, place a "big scoop" of random pieces onto one paper plate. Flip them all upright and set any edge pieces aside. Keep doing that until you have a complete pile of edge pieces, and all the other puzzle pieces are laying flat and upright on paper plates."
Paper plates can organize jigsaw puzzle pieces by holding small groups of pieces upright so every piece is visible and easy to handle. Begin by setting aside any immediately visible edge pieces. Scoop random pieces onto a paper plate, flip them upright, and remove any edge pieces. Repeat plating and flipping until a complete pile of edge pieces is collected and the remaining pieces sit flat and upright on plates. The plates make pieces easy to pass around when puzzling with others and reduce tabletop clutter. Some puzzlers recommend Galison puzzles for this method.
