Clear your mind before you begin. You will need to concentrate. Focus on the puzzle. Limit interruptions and distractions. Make sure you note where you stopped if you are interrupted. Use a systematic approach and work in a pattern. Work from left to right or top to bottom. This helps you avoid reviewing the same portion of the picture repeatedly. Pay attention to the details and be as particular as possible. Each line, circle, color, and word should be carefully scrutinized for differences. Try crossing your eyes and merging the two pictures into one; the differences will seem to blink in and out of your vision. Don't simply look at the details, but check for the obvious, especially if you are stuck. Make sure you are aware of the areas you have already worked. If you have to leave your puzzle, you will not have to start over. Take a break if you are stuck. Leaving a puzzle and going back to it later may open your eyes to differences you missed before.
