SEE:
Qay'mol  	puzzle (n) 

(Lieven, qepHom 2018):  like a jigsaw puzzle or those metal hoops that need to be untangled or any puzzle that involves a physical object or objects that must be manipulated

(De'vID < MO, 1/22/2019):  When a piece of a jigsaw puzzle fits into the right spot, you can say: {Qay'mol mey (Qay'mol) teSra'} "the (puzzle) piece fits (into) the puzzle".  (In this context, you don't have to repeat {Qay'mol}, but it's fine if you do.)  Or {nelchu' Qay'mol teSra'} "the puzzle piece fits perfectly".  The first focuses on the interlocking of the pieces; the second focuses on the piece in question occupying the identically shaped space where it goes.

teSra'  		tile (n) 

(Lieven < MO, 12/02/2018):  {teSra'} is a piece of a puzzle or a Scrabble game and so on. 
The difference to the {'echletHom} is basically that a playing card is bendable while a
 {teSra'} is hard.
