Jigsy challenges players to fit polyomino pieces into a grid, but with the key twist that pieces can be resized as well as rotated and positioned. Each day offers three fresh grids at Classic, Pro and Extreme difficulty. The site emphasizes short plays of about five minutes and highlights that the satisfying final placement often follows an unexpected scale change.
The site is free to play without an account and runs leaderboards, streak tracking and a weekly leaderboard. A free account saves your streak and exposes leaderboards; a one-time Premium purchase for 5 pounds unlocks the full archive and extra content like Triangles. The archive stores every past grid and Premium users can access it on demand.
