corner piece

Puzzle's angled fragment

A corner piece is any component designed to fit at a corner—where two edges or surfaces meet at an angle.

In jigsaw puzzles, corner pieces have two flat edges and are typically placed first: Start with the corner pieces, then do the edges.

The term extends to furniture trim, picture frames, and architectural molding.
