does the puzzle back/base have outlines of each state to assist in puzzle assembly?

No it is blank with the name of the state's capitals in the appropriate places- but there are no outlines.

No and I wouldn't recommend buying it. I had several problems putting it together and customer service was little help when i reported some pieces missing.

Yes, each state is a puzzle piece, and each piece is made of wood. It is very nice. It's been a while, so I had to go to my closet and see if I still have this (I do not babysit my grandson anymore, because he is not in middle school). I was very happy with it, and am saving it for great grandchildren.

Yes this puzzle is the best choice I've found. Not only is this puzzle great durable and quality, but it does have all of the capitals and on the back of th puzzle there is lots of information about each state including capital, state flag, bird, population, etc. this is a great choice.

Yes! Piece together those parts to be saved and cut the Presto sheet to fully cover them; place the puzzle pieces face down, press to assure a uniform surface, peel Presto sheet and apply to fully cover all parts! Tate

No. As far as I remember, it doesn't. It is not as sophisticated as I thought it would be. It's rather simple and not very helpful at all. Actually, I haven't used it since we received it. I would not recommend it for puzzle solving.

No....many pieces....there is a diagram, I had trouble, but my son figured it out immediately...once it is assembled, it looks great and is sturdy for the money...good luck...

Yes it shows the states in different colors for clarity. Reading the names of the States or reading anything for that matter is very, very difficult. This is not a real user friendly globe.

I bought them to help layout quilt blocks but I haven't had a chance to play with them yet. As far as I can tell all the blocks are identical: side 1= red/white, side 2= blue/yellowside 3= solid blueside 4= solid redside 5= solid whiteside 6= solid yellow

There was a booklet with ours. It had written directions numbered in order. There was a separate additional sheet with a diagram as well. It was fairly easy to put together with the written directions.

I'm a little confused. I searched through my entire puzzle for all of the. Borders, and put them together accordingly based off of the poster.

Thirty "puzzle" pieces in this kit. The best instructions I found on YouTube showed that each piece has a two angle notches and two straight notches. Angles attach to angles - straight attach to straights. Also, the video used different color pieces, easier to follow. This is using the large kit.

Don't know -- but I loved this puzzle. On a family vacation, we took a photo from the same spot as this scene -- it's amazingly true. Alas, one piece -- from the rock cliff -- was missing. I let the provider know and received no satisfactory response. It's so maddening to put together a puzzle, piece by piece, and end up one short.

Yes. Its like a puzzle & pieces fit together nicely, and can be rebuilt over and over.

I have not used my set yet. I understand the puzzles pieces go in the 2 side parts that eventually sit on top of the assembled puzzle before you close it up.

It depends on what you mean by all the same shape. They do not have any irregular pieces, all interlock nicely. White Mountain puzzles also interlock but they do have I think it's 7 different shapes.

Yes they do. There are enough edges to complete a full border once all four squares are connected into one large square. (Or 8 edge pcs total)
