Troubleshooting
A piece seems to fit but the image does not align.
This is common with similar colored sections; gently remove the piece and verify the interlocking tabs match the neighboring pieces.
Missing a piece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clean, stable surface of at least 30 by 20 inches. Open the box carefully and store pieces in a sealable bag or sorting tray to avoid losing any of the 1000 components. To keep the puzzle in top condition, avoid getting the pieces wet and store the finished assembly or the box in a dry environment to prevent cardboard humidity damage. If you intend to frame the puzzle, use a standard 1000-piece puzzle frame, ensuring you measure your final assembly before purchasing, as finished dimensions can vary slightly by manufacturer batch.
