The "normal" way of starting a puzzle is to start with the edges. You can find the edge pieces easier due to the flat side, which makes it a good place to start when you have many pieces.
You have to spread all the pieces out when you get them out of the box, so it makes sense to separate out the edge pieces while you're spreading and flipping pieces.
Some puzzles have too similar edge pieces, making it difficult to get their positions right, I would guess this one doesn't.
I usually start with easy to spot places like a cabin in a meadow as the pieces would have a different colorscheme
i have more puzzles than i can count, and many 5k. i've never run into edge collisions that numbers so many it couldnt be resolved with other edge pieces. maybe ive just been lucky, but 'edge piece collisions' arent really an issue
i always do edges first to get an idea of dimensions, sorting all by temperature/texture/pattern (if plausible) next
The thing is if you start with a frame it takes up more space, and it's more difficult to move finished portions unside. Without the constraints of the frame you are free to position your portions where you want before merging.
Okay so in reality you don't complete the entire frame before starting anything else. It may be 90% complete after initial sorting and flipping of pieces, so there are gaps in the border through which you can move finished portions.
Additionally, I would typically keep most of the unsorted pieces outside the frame and then build portions inside the frame.
