Here is a detailed overview of the different types of puzzles you can find on ABCmouse.
Classic Jigsaw Puzzles

These puzzles feature a variety of difficulty levels, ranging from Level 1 (easy) to Level 10 (challenging), ensuring a suitable match for your child’s skill set.
Each puzzle’s difficulty level is automatically adjusted to suit your child’s progress on their Learning Path. You or your child also have the ability to manually select a difficulty level according to their preference.
Cutout Puzzles
Our cutout puzzles create a unique opportunity for children to grow their spatial awareness and geometry skills as they work to fit the right-shaped puzzle piece into the missing cutout.
Unlike traditional puzzles, these cutout puzzles involve fitting various shapes into specific spaces or scenes. This format engages children in problem solving and critical thinking.
The interactive nature of dragging and dropping puzzle pieces in a digital environment also subtly aids in the development of fine motor skills.
Word & Language Puzzles
There are hundreds of word puzzles to choose from on ABCmouse. From learning and recognizing letters and the sounds they make to spelling or parts of speech, our puzzles cover a variety of foundational concepts.
Our learning environment offers a vast collection of word puzzles, encompassing a wide range of literacy skills. Children can explore puzzles that teach them about letters and the sounds they make, which is the foundation of reading. They can also dive into puzzles focused on sight words, helping them practice recognizing these common words quickly.
For those ready to advance, there are spelling puzzles, puzzles that introduce parts of speech, like nouns, verbs, and adjectives, as well as reading comprehension puzzles. This multi-faceted approach helps to ensure that children are exposed to multiple aspects of early language learning.
Math Puzzles
The ABCmouse math puzzles are designed to make learning numbers and math concepts exciting and age appropriate.
Starting with the basics, these puzzles help children practice recognizing and learning numbers. As your child progresses, they will encounter puzzles that teach counting in an engaging and interactive way.
Moving beyond counting, our puzzles introduce other math concepts, like addition and subtraction, where children can practice and sharpen their skills in simple arithmetic.
We also introduce shapes, allowing children to explore and recognize different geometric forms, which is a key component of early education.
Children will also enjoy the rewarding feeling of dragging a puzzle piece across the screen and watching it magically click into place when they’re correct.
Interactive Story Puzzles
ABCmouse features many puzzles that are designed to complement our extensive reading library. For instance, after children read or listen to a book, such as the delightful Aesop’s fable “The Grasshopper and the Ants,” they can dive into puzzles directly related to the story. These puzzles aim to help children with recalling events and further explore various elements of the story.
For example, some puzzles focus on story sequencing, where learners arrange events in the order they occurred in the book. This not only reinforces their comprehension of the story but also aids in understanding narrative structure.
Other puzzles might concentrate on different aspects, like examining the perspectives of various characters, which can help children learn to understand and appreciate different viewpoints.
Social Studies Puzzles
Our puzzle library includes social studies puzzles that offer an engaging and informative window into the world, covering diverse aspects of global cultures, geography, and history.
Puzzles about world traditions and holidays allow children to explore and appreciate various cultural festivities and customs, contributing to a sense of global awareness and respect for diversity.
The ABCmouse puzzles also focus on different members of the community, which can aid children in understanding different professions and their significance in society, helping to nurture an early appreciation for community roles.
Geographically-themed puzzles enhance children’s awareness of other regions and their locations in the world. Moreover, puzzles featuring historical figures, such as John Lewis, Abraham Lincoln, and Susan B. Anthony, serve as interactive lessons in history.
