Do you have any similar strategies that you use when tackling difficult puzzles? 🧩 Thank you for watching!

[jasonsmall]

Amazing, and she did it with the whole image upside down!

like I know she is good at puzzles, but can we take a second to appreciate Karen's media production skills?? like seriously, I am amazed every time at how well her vids are made! mad respect!

Just wanted to say that I appreciate this type of sponsorship. I didn’t feel like I was being advertised to, and I even went and checked out some of blue kazoo’s designs. I also appreciate you saying it’s fine to stop doing a puzzle if it’s not fun. I’ve done that a few times and felt like a failure but I just knew I wouldn’t enjoy continuing to struggle.

Karen's joy and little giggle when talking about the red poster is why we love sweet!!

Hey, that's me! I have aphantasia, and I love puzzles. I can still see shapes and colors with my eyes, I just can't form the whole picture in my head if I'm not directly looking at it. I can't rotate the color of any pieces in my head, but I can describe the shape of something I'm looking for (i.e. "big out a little high" or "in but smaller than average") and in this way can sort-of rotate the shape of something in my head enough to find the correct piece. Random cut are a lot more fun than traditional, but that may be a personal preference. A puzzle does take a lot of focus but I find completing them very rewarding!

Guys, how lucky are we that someone with the experience, motivation and skill to make high quality videos (Karen) has chosen to dedicate her efforts to a topic that is pretty much a desert when it comes to video content (jigsaw puzzles) 😁

When my husband and I were first dating, I bought him the Little Red Riding Hood puzzle. He hated puzzles but he did finish it. I guess his sticking with it (and me) was a good sign as we were married for almost 35 years before he passed away. Thanks for the memory.

Sometimes I'll find a piece that is very close to the piece I need, but not quite it--maybe there's something about the shape or color or both, but it doesn't quite fit. I find it helpful to hold onto that wrong piece and use it to compare the remaining pieces with. Speeds up the process of zeroing in on a subtle shade of "Blue" for example, or a peculiarity of the shape.

Hey! I'm someone with aphantasia, which means that I cannot see anything inside my mind. I also LOVE puzzles. The sorts of things you were aloud to describe the pieces are what I keep thinking (in word form) to myself to remember them. I also have great color vision and usually match colors by quickly looking from one to the other. I rarely have trouble completing puzzles and I'm better than my of family at doing them, even though they can all see in their minds and I can't.

Karen: Interesting that they didn't make a blue one, considering their name.
Blue Kazoo CEO: "surprised pikachu face"

I enjoy how Karen flows her hands over the entire finished puzzle. So gratifying that it is all completed. She’s so encouraging!

[stephaniefleming]

I love the tip about taking the piece out of the puzzle and matching it to the grid...I've been picking up each piece from the grid and bringing it to the puzzle! What at time and effort saver!

Karen saying it was weird that they didn't do a blue puzzle has big kermit the frog sipping tea energy

Just me seeing a red puzzle and got “Heinz 57 Puzzle” flashbacks!! 😩😭

[MeghanReads]

How can something be so relaxing and so anxiety inducing at the same time. I've been binge watching your channel all night and just ordered my first gradient puzzle. Thank you!

[ajrwyb]

My sister in law NEEDS to watch this video. She's been having a hard time on one of her puzzles. I hope this video will help her and keep her from feeling blue. By the would I do a solid color puzzle lmao. You got skills :)

[Jackisafanofstarwars]

Karen I just want to say that I absolutely have fallen in love with your channel and videos, you are such a wholesome person and are so genuine and make me happy when I’m down, you always cheer me up! I feel like I have gotten to know you even though I don’t 😅. You have gotten me back into puzzles and I really love them so much again. Please never change because you are honestly a beautiful person inside and out. Thank you for filling my life with joy. 😊
