We have been wanting to find the best Lord of the Rings puzzle for quite some time! We have looked at all kinds of puzzles here ranging from Star Wars puzzles to Spider-Man puzzles to Disney puzzles, and pretty much everything in between.
The achievement of the Lord of the Rings movie series cannot be overstated. Each movie is great in its own way and they are movies that people just adore! That is what has made us want to dedicate a whole article to looking at Lord of the Rings puzzles.
Did We Strike A Deal With Sauron To Find These Puzzles?
We thought about doing that as we felt it could be the best and easiest way to find the best Lord of the Ring puzzle. However, we know that Sauron is not to be trusted so we told that big eye of his to get lost!
In all seriousness, there are more Lord of the Rings puzzles online than there are box office receipts for Hugo Weaving movies! We made sure to pick the ones that we felt were the coolest and looked like they would be the most fun to complete.

This JJLOLCJ Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is so amazing you just know it caught that big ugly eye of Sauron! This is based on The Fellowship of the Ring and as well as featuring all nine characters, it has many of the iconic moments from that movie.
However, what really made us fight over who got to keep this in the Geek’s Oasis office is the amazing way this looks like a painting rather than just using images from the movie. It is like something from a storybook or a video game.

FAQs About Lord of the Rings Puzzles
We know a thing or two about jigsaw puzzles here at Geek’s Oasis and in our experience Lord of the Rings is in contention for having the most puzzles of any franchise! That is why we have this little FAQ for you, it is way better than any advice you would get from Pippin and Merry!
What kind of Lord of the Rings puzzle should I get?
As you can see from our list, Lord of the Rings puzzles come in many styles. You have your typical jigsaw puzzle, but you also have 3D puzzles, LEGO, and more!
It can make it hard to know what is the right one for you. Our advice is to go for which one you find the most fun. If you know you enjoy jigsaw puzzles go for that! If you prefer model kits and LEGO there are still a ton of Lord of the Rings puzzles in that style to choose from.
How can I display my puzzle?
We have looked at some great puzzle frames here on Geek’s Oasis and that is a great way to display a jigsaw puzzle. However, if you go the 3D model or LEGO route, finding a nice spot on a shelf or even as a key piece of an already-established Lord of the Rings collection would be a great idea.
One Last Thing Before You Head Into The Fires Of Mordor!
We hope that we have made your quest to find the best Lord of the Rings puzzle just a tad easier with our selections up above. We just wanted to take a moment to say that at the end of the day, puzzles no matter if they are a classic jigsaw puzzle or even a massive LEGO set are supposed to be fun so make sure you are having fun while putting together your puzzle, whatever it may be.

Happy puzzling!
