Jas, when you say "hard on the eyes", have you tried all the background color options that are available to you? I've been a Premium player for quite awhile, so I forget what the default options are, but perhaps if you did a 6-piece and then changed color options before you try a more difficult puzzle, you'd find a combination of colors that are easier on the eyes. I often switch around several times before I find one that is easier to look at as I work the puzzle. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Happy New year all!
