interlocking puzzle
Pieces fit together
A puzzle whose pieces connect by shaped tabs and slots that fit into each other, holding the assembled image together.
The classic jigsaw puzzle is the most familiar example.
The term distinguishes these from puzzles with pieces that merely sit adjacent: The interlocking puzzle held together well enough to frame.
