This abstract art puzzle by BetterCo. has bright swatches of red, blue and yellow — which combine at points to create green, purple and orange for a full rainbow of shades! It has 1,000 pieces that are incredibly durable and even environmentally friendly due to being printed on recycled cardboard with soy-based inks! Cat stole a piece or two? The company will mail you a replacement for free. What great service!

One shopper enjoyed putting it together, calling it a “delight” that she left it “sitting on the table for awhile after I finished” because she “couldn't bring myself to take it apart.” It’s a bit of a challenge, too, so it’ll keep you busy for a while: one daughter says her mom “whips through puzzles and this one took her awhile.” Hopefully, the fun with last for you, too.

BetterCo. - Full Moon Round Puzzle 500 Pieces

If modern art isn't your thing, then maybe this lovely photo of the moon is the one for you. It's all black and white and gray, and with lots of interesting textures in the image to help guide you instead. This one is only 500 pieces, but it'll still stump you thanks to some of its piece shapes as well as the fact that the finished product is a round circle instead of a rectangle. The Earth and Mars are also available, so you can construct your own tiny part of the solar system.

Some shoppers really enjoyed handling the Moon puzzle "because [the] pieces are pretty big," while another builder says it's "very unique to do a circular puzzle, it was challenging with the gray scale color palette. Final product looks great, may have to frame!" Do they sell round frames to fit?

If you're worried that you'll get through one puzzle a little too soon, why not buy two? These floral kits come as a $40 bundle — that's a $5 discount from its usual price on Amazon, and $10 than if you bought the puzzles separately on Amazon! One is a mix of flowers neatly laid out, the other is a messy glorious bouquet. Both are round to create a bit of an extra challenge.

BetterCo. Sleigh Ride Winter Snow Puzzle

If your tastes veer more toward the traditional, this Grandma Moses-esque winter scene will please you with its charming cabins, trees and reindeer-pulled sleigh. This is another 1,000 piece puzzle but it might feel harder than that since most of the pieces are white!

One puzzle lover says, "I hadn't done a puzzle in a few months due to what appeared to be a puzzle shortage during COVID. Finally, I came across this one and knew I had to have it. The puzzle has good, sturdy pieces, with none of that fitting-into-the-wrong-place nonsense. The picture is very charming, and the blue and black areas posed a bit of a challenge. I finished it in two days, but only because I was so puzzle-starved and couldn't stop." Sounds like a great way to pass time this winter!
