Taos Ladies
This puzzle has 36 pieces.  The puzzle pieces are round instead of square which makes this puzzle challenging, I believe. It takes a little longer for the placeholder to load because it is one large graphic instead of one small graphic.

Sal Monetti (with sounds)
This puzzle has 100 pieces.  The puzzle pieces are round instead of square. There is quite a bit of sky in this picture which I believe makes this puzzle the most challenging.

I wish him all the best.

How to play:

When the Java Applet loads, you will see the scrambled pieces on the left side of the puzzle board. The right side of the board will have placeholders. These placeholders indicate where the scrambled pieces should be placed.

To move the scrambled pieces from the left side of the board to the right side of the board, simply drag and drop them. [Decide which piece you want to move, then click and hold down your left mouse button. While holding down your left mouse button, drag (slide) piece from the left side of the board onto its correct placeholder on the right side to the board and drop it {let go of the left mouse button} ]

If you have chosen the correct spot for your piece, it will stay in place on the right side of the board. If you have not chosen the correct spot for your piece, it will slide back to its original position on the left side of the board.

A finished picture is supplied for each puzzle. Additional hints will be supplied as needed.
