'''''Puzzle''''' is the second album by the Icelandic band amiina. It was released on September 27, 2010. This album has references to the bands EP ''Re Minore'' as the tracks "Ásinn", "Púsl" and "Sicsak" are re-worked versions of the songs "Ásinn", "Þristurinn" and "Tvisturinn" from that release. Additionally, the track "Mambó" is a re-worked version of the song "Ammælis" from the "Seoul" single.

As part of the pre-order package for the album the band released a video of the band playing "Glámur" from their previous studio album, ''Kurr'', at the Reykjavík Arts Festival from 2008. This concert was the original quartets first performance together with Magnús Trygvason Eliassen and Kippi Kaninus (Guðmundur Vignir Karlsson) and it also marks the start of their collaboration.<ref>{{citation |author=Amiina |title=Thank you video |place=amiina rehearsal space, Reykjavík, Iceland |date=September 4, 2010 }}</ref>
