My mom gets me a new puzzle like this for Christmas every year. I usually have them solved within minutes, but this year I got this puzzle and I gotta say, it is by far the most difficult I've ever done.
It took me a total of 11 hours to solve. Let me tell you, when I got that first piece off, the amount of satisfaction and joy I felt was incredible..
I had to find a video showing how to solve it just to see if I did it right. I'm only watching the first half of this video as I now have to figure out how to put it back together.
But I am going to wait till tomorrow to try. I don't want to just put it back together from memory. I want to figure it out on my own.

I got an Enigma puzzle a couple years ago as a gift and have had it on my desk ever since unsolved. Your video (with frequent stop-back-repeat) makes the solution clear. Thanks much.

Not only a great solve of a great puzzle, but a fantastic explanation! I took mine apart and left it apart for about 3 years, and forgot what the original position was... now I have it! Thanks!

Thanks! Nice exposition. There are two orientations. This starts with one piece flipped from the other orientation. I was stuck for a day or two until I found your solution. Worked like a charm! And for those here who are stuck because a piece is flipped, just look for the solution from Mr. Puzzle for the other orientation.

Love this one. It's one of the best puzzles around, together with the Cast Elk.

Just needed a hint, thanks! The spacing on mine was messed up evidently and the very first move you showed in the video, was not possible without excessive force so I just assumed it was not the correct way. Now that I know, I spread the gap a little and can continue my efforts with no more hint hopefully!

[leviclark]

I failed completely, and after months, looked up the solution in another video, which claimed it required force! I thought the puzzle had cheated me, but then I found this video, and you explained it so well, and it required no force... I feel a bit embarrassed how badly I did, but thanks so much for posting this. I'm glad I looked it up again.

holy mother of god... how do people invent such puzzles?! that is awesome. the video explains the mechanism really well, nontheless i am baffled by the puzzle

[hayesman]

I want to congratulate you for solving the Enigma puzzle. I've been grappling with it for a few weeks and it's quite a challenge. NOT gonn watch the solution video, though, unless/until I solve it!

[RolandIllig]

You did the video perfectly. Everything is clearly visible in stop-motion. Thank you very much.

My dad has been working on this puzzle for DAYS. I sat down and got it apart and I was glad to find this video to put it back together for my dad. c:

That's amazing! There are multiple ways to achieve this puzzle!

[jurgenhoke]

Very good explanation, because all rotations are explained always relative to the center piece "base". This keeps it clear.

[cartersheppard-oowr]

i had spent 3 years on this puzzle thank you for shong me how to solve it

[IceKoldKilla]

We have a ton of these at work. No way I would solve that one. Thanks for the video! I'll try to learn it now.

[Just_vincent]

It’s challenging enough just following along with this video. I can’t imagine figuring it out from scratch.

[jamilortiz]

Thank goodness I found this video, my gosh I can finally sleep

[nicolai_gamulea-schwartz]

I forced it a bit and managed to glitch it in an illegal configuration. That made taking it back apart even more challenging - I took inspiration from this video to eventually sort it out :😂
