A jigsaw puzzle is a recreational game or activity that involves assembling a picture or design by fitting together interlocking pieces. The pieces of a jigsaw puzzle are usually irregularly shaped and need to be pieced together to create a complete image. The image is typically printed on the surface of each puzzle piece.

So, why is it called a jigsaw puzzle? The term "jigsaw puzzle" originates from the 18th century when pictures were painted on wood and then cut into irregular pieces using a jigsaw tool. Over time, the term became associated with puzzles that require assembling interlocking pieces to create a complete image or design. The name stuck, and jigsaw puzzles became a popular form of entertainment and education.
