This one is a more advanced task (Esp to created the initial puzzle pieces.)
Here’s a brief summary of the steps I took:
- Make all vector puzzle pieces
- Put in letters
- Put circle over top
- Press ALT+F3 to launch lens docker
- Set circle to be a fish eye lens
- Freeze the lens group
- Ungroup result
- Find circle shape, apply radial fountain fill to it from white at center to black at edges
- Set circle shape to 100% multiply merge mode using transparency tool in uniform mode

only question: where did the puzzle come from?

I tweaked the contrast and converted to 1-bit monochrome, then powertraced.
