Frequently Asked Questions
What Makes Kevin Walsh's Jigsaw Puzzles Different From Standard Cardboard Puzzles?

Kevin Walsh jigsaw puzzles from Nautilus are precision laser-cut from premium 4mm FSC-certified Finnish birch/basswood plywood, not thin cardboard.

Do Kevin Walsh Jigsaw Puzzles Include Whimsy (Shaped) Pieces?

Do any Kevin Walsh Puzzles Have an Irregular Edge (and no Corner Pieces)?
+

Some Kevin Walsh designs use an irregular perimeter, and select panoramic formats are intentionally made with no corner pieces. This removes the usual starting shortcut and invites you to rely on shape, color, and pattern recognition for a more advanced solve.
How Do the Level 1–3 Difficulty Ratings Work for Kevin Walsh Puzzles?

-
For Kevin Walsh's jigsaw puzzles, the Level 1 to 3 rating combines piece count and cut complexity. Level 1 covers the mini formats. Level 2 typically includes mid-size puzzles.
