Can you solve a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces?

Question

Can you solve a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces?

Answer 1

of course you will just have holes in the puzzle

Answer 2

I agree, how satisfying finishing the puzzle will be will depend on how many pieces are missing! For more information on jigsaw puzzles, have a peek at the pages that I have written.

Answer 3

Yes, you can, but there will be spaces in the puzzle.  When we were kids and we lost pieces of our puzzle, we would make replacement pieces from cardboard - not quite as good as having the real pieces, but it worked for us.

Answer 4

Well, that depends on how many pieces are missing.  If MOST of them are gone, it is nearly impossible.  Of course this also depends on your definition of solve (get each piece in their proper place OR complete the puzzle)  The second definition is impossible if pieces are missing.

Enjoy!

Answer 5

well yeah, you get all the pieces you have, then you have holes in your finished picture. the end.

Answer 6

I have before and if the picture isn't too complex you can make a fake missing piece if you're artistic at all or know somebody who is!

Answer 7

well i guess you can but it will take a lot longer and be a lot harder
