I spent some time tracing call stacks to find this lineвЂ¦ only to discover that itвЂ™s one of only four lines to actually contain the word вЂњshuffleвЂќ and I could have just searched for itвЂ¦ Both pieces have to be mostly-visible (not buried under other pieces), presumably to prevent players from just making a stack and then holding a piece against each edge of it to вЂњfishвЂќ for its adjacent partners.

Start the game: the player can drag-and-drop pieces and if two adjacent pieces can be connected they lock together.

Establish a WebSocket connection to keep the server up-to-date with the relative position of the pieces.

Cut the image up into the appropriate number of pieces.

Get from the server the completed image and the dimensions (number of pieces).

So I took a dive into JigidiвЂ™s client-side source code.

If thereвЂ™s one thing I enjoy more than jigsaw puzzles вЂ“ and as previously established there are about a billion things I enjoy more than jigsaw puzzles вЂ“ itвЂ™s reverse-engineering a computer system to exploit its weaknesses. Do you think you can manage a nine-piece jigsaw? I made a simple Jigidi puzzle for demonstration purposes. For example, it uses a WebSocket connection to telegraph back to the server how pieces are moved around and connected to one another and the server only releases the secret вЂњyouвЂ™ve solved itвЂќ message after it detects that the pieces have been arranged in the appropriate relative configuration. An earlier version of Jigidi was auto-solvable with a userscript, but the service has continued to be developed and evolve and the current version works quite hard to make it hard for simple scripts to solve.

Many of these mystery caches use Jigidi to host these jigsaw puzzles. When IвЂ™m geocaching I want to be outdoors exploring, not sitting at my computer gradually dragging pixels around! DonвЂ™t let anybody use my completion of this 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle over New Year as evidence that IвЂ™m lying and actually like jigsaws. So mystery caches that require you to solve an online jigsaw puzzle in order to get the coordinates really donвЂ™t do it for me.
