Jigsaw puzzles – even when the name sounds exciting, jigsaw puzzles can be extremely frustrating sometimes. And it surely can become an anxiety piece if you insist yourself to finish it at once. Despite of being a mindblowing game, solving these puzzles slowly day-by-day works like therapy for many people. However, if you are fond of solving jigsaw puzzles, think of yourself as a champion who can finish any kind of puzzle in minimum time. I think you must try the world’s hardest and most challenging jigsaw puzzles based on the different categories that are listed below.

1. Gradient Jigsaw Puzzles

If you want to try something challenging and relaxing at the same time, gradient puzzles can become your great choice. Also, to test your excellent color theory skills, you can try Areaware’s Pink/Yellow Gradient puzzle which has 1000 pieces to solve and if this is too much, you can give chances to PlayGroup’s 540 Colors Sphere which has 540 pieces, or Ravensburger’s Krypt Gradient with 631 pieces to solve. Still not satisfied and want to try the 5000-piece puzzle, I guess the most challenging one, go for PlayGroup’s 5000 Colours.

2. Complicated and Challenging Vintage Jigsaw Puzzles

It’s often said that old is gold, so why leave the beauty of vintage puzzles out that can still challenge modern-time puzzles? Further, when you want to get vintage vibes and explore the world of the most challenging nostalgic puzzles, solving Ravensburger’s Think/Krypt with 700 pieces, Springbok’s Flat Banana and Prismagic – Silver with 500 pieces, and Springbok’s Little Red Riding Hood’s Hood with 500 pieces can be the most suitable choices.

3. Clear Jigsaw Puzzles

Clear puzzles often seem impossible to solve and it can take from weeks to months to solve these puzzles. Also, it’s quite a new concept, so most puzzles are based on modern times and Gemturt’s puzzles are extremely popular in this manner, which is a new company that has yet to become famous. However, you can try solving Gemturt’s Impossible Hexwave with 180 pieces, Impossible Summer with 240 pieces, and Impossible Holographic with 300 pieces.

4. Modern Puzzles Based on Solid Colors

Solid color puzzles also fall in the category of hardest puzzles as these puzzles generally have no image, but just a solid color with some spiral or different curved designs, which seems next to impossible to solve. Some of their hardest patterns include Ravensburger’s Black Krypt with 736 pieces, Silver Krypt with 654 pieces, and Metalic Mint Krypt with 736 pieces as Ravenburger’s hardest jigsaw puzzle is known to be the Krypt series. Further, you can try Yetch’s Incomplete White Puzzle with 499-500 pieces or Blue Kazoo’s Impossible: Red Puzzle with 250-1000 pieces.

5. Tricky Puzzles of the Modern Era

For people who are too much into finishing modern times tricky puzzles, jigsaw puzzles like Blue Kazoo’s Liability, PlayGroup’s Karan Singh, and Bgraamiens’s Forest in Black and White can be the perfect fit as these all puzzles have 1000 pieces to solve. However, you can also try Springbok’s The Puzzler or Piecework’s Disco Queen, both with 500 pieces but are quite challenging.
