Figurals

A figural is a puzzle piece cut as a recognizable silhouette of an object. They are also known as "whimsies" or "figure pieces". They add interest to the puzzle, and provide an opportunity to customize a puzzle and make it more personal.

Sometimes figurals relate to the puzzle image. A bird figure may be flying in the sky, or a boat shaped piece may be sailing on the sea.

Other times they are chosen to reflect the owner of the puzzle. Pieces can be cut to depict hobbies, favorite animals, etc.

If you wish to include figurals in your puzzle, describe what you would like, and I'll design it for you. You may also choose to let me pick the figural designs.

Word Pieces

A word piece is a figural in the shape of a word. This is the ultimate way to personalize a puzzle by adding a name, special date, or simple message such as "happy birthday" to the puzzle.

The more letters contained in a word piece, the more delicate the piece will be. You should consider this when choosing words for your puzzle. You may wish to abbreviate longer words.
