At gamedesign.jp you can find some very nice Flash puzzle Games. My favorite is Stained Glass Puzzle.

You have to drag each colored panel onto the left-hand window to match colors both vertically and horizontally.

There are 5 stages. Just as your are probably used to do when solving a jigsaw puzzle start with the border and corner pieces.

The only thing they can improve is the used colors, it’s sometimes hard to see the difference between the darker colors used. Happy Puzzling!

This highly addictive little puzzle requires lateral thinking and strategic planning! Recommended for ages 8 and older.
