All due respect to the Kodak jigsaw puzzle, but according to good folks at Guinness World Records GWR, the world's largest jigsaw puzzle by surface area was put together in Dubai in July 2018. The puzzle was in honor of the Year of Zayed — a yearlong tribute to the founding father of the United Arab Emirates, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. There were more than 12,000 pieces in the puzzle, which was an image of Zayed. The official record size measured 65,905.17 square feet 6,122.68 square meters. You may be surprised to read this or not if you've stayed up to date with our blogposts, but Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is well known to be an avid puzzler. The Queen is famous for her preference to puzzles without a guide picture, as she believes this makes the puzzle too easy. The Queen is also a member of the British Jigsaw Puzzle Library, and is believed to frequently borrow them for those winter stays at Sandringham.
