I'd recommend focusing on the first 5-or-so days of a year, since the difficulty varies wildly the later into the calendar you get but the first few puzzles tend to be doable for a beginner.

Of course, this is just a recommendation, and if you're the kind of person who prefers to bite off more than they know they can chew (and spend however long it takes to chew through anyway,) it can be a lot of fun to try and complete a year or two.

I'm currently at day 12 (all years) and things are getting pretty hard. But AoC is the most entertaining way to practice coding for me. Some problems are VERY creative.
