   What Jigsaw Puzzle is still about a puzzle?

   • Here, PUZZLE PIECE is still about a PUZZLE, although here it’s changed a little from a jigsaw puzzle to a crossword, so there’s a little twist there. CALL NUMBER is maybe my favorite theme example, because both key words in the answer are used playfully in the clue.
