Thingamajigsaw’s Andrea Farnham has done it again with an outstanding complex jigsaw and word puzzle based on Artist Larry Elliott’s work “Tower of Babel” (http://www.thingamajigsaw.com/traditional.html#elliott)

When you buy the puzzle you actually get two wooden jigsaw puzzles, a five-language dictionary, and a guide to solving the word puzzle once you’ve assembled the jigsaw.

Basically, once you solve the jigsaw, the figural pieces in the main puzzle have letters and numbers next to them, e.g. the octopus figural has a M6 next to it which on the small puzzle is in Spain. Time to use the dictionary to find the Spanish word for Octopus (pulpo).

When you have all of the translated words, you will be guided through a process to remove the letters from the border of the main puzzle and reveal a secret word (good for a 1-time 10% discount at Thingamajigsaw).

Fantastic work by Andrea and a very clever compliment to the Sherlock Holmes-themed puzzle she released last year also using Larry Elliot’s art. This is a must buy.
