⚙️ HOW THE CRYPTIC CHALLENGE SYSTEM WORKS

The Jigsaw Puzzle Creator encrypts configurations locally in your web browser. When you submit an image, its URL path and selected difficulty parameters are encrypted using a secure XOR cipher. This encrypted data is appended to the query strings of the play link.

When a player opens your shared link, the play console decrypts the parameters in their browser cache and instantly renders the puzzle grid. No puzzle data is stored on external databases, ensuring 100% data privacy.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How do I create a custom jigsaw puzzle?

Upload any photo from your local device or paste an image URL from the web. Choose your desired difficulty grid (Easy, Medium, or Hard) and click 'Create Jigsaw Puzzle'.

Q How does the custom puzzle challenge link work?

Our Jigsaw Creator uses a secure XOR cipher to encrypt the image URL and selected difficulty level directly in your browser. The generated link contains this encrypted data in query parameters (qw and qa) and can be shared with anyone.

Q Is my uploaded custom image private?

Yes! If you paste a web URL, it is encrypted locally and never saved. If you upload a local image file, it is securely uploaded to Cloudinary to generate a web URL so that it can be decrypted by whoever opens your challenge link.

Q Do players need to install an app or register to play?

No! The challenge link is 100% web-based. Anyone clicking the link can play the custom puzzle instantly in their browser on mobile, tablet, or desktop with no downloads or account registration required.

Q What resolution of images should I use?

For the best custom puzzle experience, we recommend using high-quality landscape images with distinct colors and shapes so that players can easily identify corresponding pieces.
