Features

Three ways to use the same matching engine.

Every mode starts the same way: save one shape, then scan the other side live on your iPhone.

What PuzPal is built around.

It is designed for live puzzle-table matching, not automatic solving.

Guided capture

It works best with one clear gap or one clear loose piece.

Shape-first matching

It starts with the outline, not puzzle artwork or color.

Full-shape boosts

Full gaps and full pieces get stronger side and corner checks.

Live confidence

Confidence rises when the fit stays steady, not just when it flashes once.

On-device processing

Matching stays on your iPhone. No cloud upload needed.

Board-first

Core flow 01

Scan Gap

Best when the empty spot on the board is easy to frame. This is usually the strongest mode because PuzPal gets the full gap first.

Capture firstThe full missing gap
Scan nextLoose pieces, one at a time
Best forClean spaces on the board
ConfidenceUsually the strongest path

If the open shape is clear, this is the quickest way to narrow the right piece.

Piece-first

Core flow 02

Scan Piece

Best when the loose piece is easier to isolate than the board. Capture the piece first, then sweep the board for the right space.

Capture firstOne full loose piece
Scan nextMissing gaps on the board
Best forClear piece, busy board
ConfidenceStrong with a clean piece lock

Useful when the table is busy but the piece in your hand is clear.

Fallback mode

Core flow 03

Scan Edge

Best when a full gap will not lock cleanly. Capture one clear part of the edge, then use it to narrow likely pieces.

Capture firstA clear fragment of the gap edge
Scan nextLoose pieces
Best forBlocked or awkward spots
ConfidenceLower-confidence fallback

This is a practical fallback, not the strongest match path.

Product limits

Built to help, not solve the whole puzzle.

Shape-led, not artwork-led

PuzPal compares outlines first, not printed artwork.

One subject at a time

It works best with one clear gap or one clear loose piece.

Lighting still matters

Glare, shadow, and weak contrast make matching less stable.

Edge mode narrows the field

`Scan Edge` is a fallback, not the same confidence level as a full-shape capture.
