Luckily, the LittleFlowerPotShop on Etsy has come up with a riveting solution to keep you busy for hours – a transparent jigsaw puzzle.

With sports on hiatus and everybody at home, jigsaw puzzles have seemingly become a hot commodity to pass the time. On Amazon, puzzles hover around the top ten searches in crafts, and retail store shelves are reflecting the same. Many puzzles are temporarily out of stock as people rush to purchase the stress-busting activity.

There are a variety of benefits that come with puzzling.

Not only are you able to exercise your brain, but it’s been shown that puzzles help to stimulate and improve your memory. Puzzles can also be meditative. By allowing yourself to focus solely on the task at hand you can achieve a relaxed state, in turn lowering your heart rate and blood pressure. One more added benefit?

Puzzles are a great time to connect with family, which seems most important now more than ever. On the flip side, if you’re looking for some solitary time, puzzling can also provide a peaceful escape.

While some are at home catching up with their favorite show or reading their favorite book, others are attempting to solve jigsaw puzzles one piece at a time.

For those enthusiasts out there that like to indulge in the most difficult of puzzles, perhaps you’ll finally meet your match.

One Etsy shop owner is challenging buyers with an exceptional proposal – a transparent jigsaw puzzle with three different levels of difficulty.

Another buyer mused:

“I only have 2 pieces together so far, but I’m loving this! Such a great idea and so well made. Great seller! I’m buying more as gifts.”

The sizes are based on the level of difficulty. The easy level comes with 9 simple pieces. The ‘okay’ level has 25 pieces, the hard level has 49 pieces, and the ‘crazy’ level has 144 tiny acrylic pieces ready to be assembled.

The Etsy seller is excited to share this masterpiece with you:

“OUR Impossibly difficult CLEAR jigsaw puzzle for adults come in multiple sizes based on the level of intensity you’re willing to endure! This custom jigsaw puzzle is hard enough in its own right and our creator has found a way to pack the experience of many 1000+ piece puzzles into just a 6″x6″ footprint. All finished puzzles are SQUARE, come are increasingly difficult the more pieces there are (and therefore are SMALLER), BUT the puzzle measurements are the same. Great for any puzzle enthusiast, corporate gifts, and more.”
