Neat, but the "Diffictulty" slider is a bit of a misnomer, IMHO. Puzzles with more pieces just take longer. I'm not sure what would be a better label, though. (If I were feeling uncharitable, I would propose "Tedium", or perhaps "Carpal Tunnel Risk" :-) I wonder if there might be a way of changing the difficulty without changing the number of pieces? Like maybe putting gridlines between the pieces, so that you can't…

Hmm, I don't know to be honest, usually difficulty translates to spending more time and the pieces being smaller does it make it visually harder to discern right?

Not really, time doesn't make something difficult, just tedious. For the cat puzzle, smaller pieces doesn't really make a difference. Once you get a corner it is easy to line up and knock them down. So, just tedious

This could be a nice distraction, but unfortunately the interaction latency makes it feel so sluggish I can’t get into flow.

What browser, OS? On windows both Firefox and Chrome have no discernible latency for me at least.

Safari iOS.

Have had this bookmarked for a very long time and go back to it semi regularly. Any chance you can load a bunch of stock photos into the various categories? I think there's only ~8 or so in each.

Wait really?? Wow, that's awesome to hear. I'll increase the count.
