The Magic of Fluids, Thom Spencer
188 pieces, Jigsaw Art. This one had some really cool tricks with color changes across piece lines--hard to call it color line cutting, but still a real challenge. 5/5

Marc Chagall, Moi et le village
LeColimaçon, 379 pieces. I did learn something about Chagall's art doing this, the way it's put together in blocks of color turning into different figures. But it's still push-fit (with partially interlocking borders).

LeColimaçon, Van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh, Bateaux de pecheurs, 488 pieces. Every once in a while I think "that puzzle looks so cool, I will try it though it's push-fit." I am wrong and need to be reminded of this.

Purple Flower
Woodmorningshop (on Etsy), about 150 pieces. Interesting shape; matte finish makes for a different puzzling experience. 4/5

Jules Grun, The Dinner Party
600 pieces, Optimago. The usual Optimago strengths--subtle colors that only reveal the picture once it's assembled. 3/5

Unpainted puzzles
214, 225, 288 pieces, LeColimaçon. French puzzles (via Etsy)--the lack of painting means that it's all about the shape of the pieces, which I enjoy. The puzzles are thin plywood, more like Wentworth than the thicker hand-cut pieces I'm more used to, but I enjoyed the challenge. My daughter may paint one or two of them ultimately. 5/5

Histoire Naturelle (Papillons)
608 pieces, Liberty. An unusual partly color-line cut Liberty, so lots of butterfly shapes! 5/5

Tree puzzle, WoodTwoArt
58 pieces--trying something a bit different. The pieces were a little rough-edged for my taste, but it was still an interesting difference. 2.5/5
