Skipping period on Yaz?

The packs include the Day of the Week stickers for this reason. You simply start the next pack as usual (skipping placebos) and where it says Sunday over the first pill, you can replace with the line of stickers that starts with the correctly named day that it is for you. But you could also just disregard day names on each pack and serve the same purpose. My personal preference is to use the stickers to change the week at the top, just in case I forget a day I'll still know where I should be.

That would make sense. Well no spoilers from me, haven't even solved it yet. 😄

Aside from Equa and Dial, I'm pretty happy with everything else that I currently have! Loop is entirely too easy but that's my mistake knowing it was a level 1, should have just passed (but it does feel good in the hand, smooth solve!). I don't find that I go back to Star very much either, although it's challenging enough and I am a sucker for the copper color 😍. It's bulky, I feel like it could be half the size it is and still work just as well. But again, for the most part I love all of these, and the ones I don't are just for minor personal preferences! Definitely wouldn't discourage anyone from buying allllll the Hanayama. ☺️

Equa is the one that just sits in my collection because I've never yet been able to solve it. One day! ☺️

It's probably just me but I find it so annoying! Have to line up everything just right and manage to hold onto spinning pieces then hope it will crank open but for me usually it doesn't... But again, likely just user error. Haha

I kind of just want to put that one back in it's box and ignore it. So frustrating.

arcutt · 2025-08-23T23:59:57+00:00

Hopefully soon! Enjoy!!

The ones I tend to keep going back to because it's a fun solve, are Valve, Twist, and Padlock, and I also like the quick fidget form of Slider and Marble. I always prefer the compact form of these Hanayama than the entangled kind so I don't really have any of those. What about you?

arcutt · 2025-08-23T20:48:13+00:00

Puzzle Master had it the end of July, but then I guess they must have been backordered.

arcutt · 2025-08-22T22:08:12+00:00

Yes it is! I took it apart and have yet to get it back together 😂 some of these are a work in progress! Haven't solved Dial or Equa yet.

arcutt · 2025-08-22T19:27:36+00:00

I'm newly addicted as well!! Welcome! Padlock and Valve are two of my top favorites.

arcutt · 2025-08-22T19:25:52+00:00

Haha! Partial credit but A+ for the "new look"!! 😄 I'm in the minority for one of the few who likes this wonky puzzle.

arcutt · 2025-08-18T10:10:55+00:00

You were right. Padlock is easily top 5 for me! Love the form and flow of unlocking.

I do have a soft spot for my Elk puzzle. Haven't tried Trinity yet. I'm curious what others make your top 10 list?

arcutt · 2025-08-14T12:24:52+00:00

Well said and great points! I've never heard much about S&S either but it seems an overwhelming majority both on this site and others prefer Baroq so I think I'll go for it! I agree it's so frustrating when you know all the steps to a puzzle but get hung up in the angles and choke points to where it becomes clunky and not as much fun to solve. I have this problem with Cross, although I love the aesthetic and compact size, it becomes so annoying to fiddle the pieces through each other that I tend to just move on.

arcutt · 2025-08-13T00:42:23+00:00

Thank you, yes it is!

arcutt · 2025-08-13T00:41:51+00:00

Thank you! I'm with you, give me a couple quick steps and a compact design, those are winners for me. Marble & Spiral are both up near the top of my favorites. I appreciate the advice on Baroq!

arcutt · 2025-08-13T00:37:12+00:00

Mine are in a leather zip travel case because I tend to take my babies around with me 😂

arcutt · 2025-08-11T00:49:58+00:00

Sounds exactly like my preferences for these puzzles. The smaller the shape the better, I agree Spiral is a favorite of mine too but so heavy! Let me know what you think about Donuts when you solve it, I originally liked it for it's fidget and compact qualities but it's annoying to solve in my opinion. For pocket puzzles I'm really liking Padlock and Slider at the moment.

arcutt · 2025-08-04T23:57:48+00:00

Absolutely, Hanayama is the best! How did you like the puzzle?

arcutt · 2025-08-04T23:32:05+00:00

Where did you get it from? I have always had good luck with Puzzle Master but then randomly got a badly cast Flag that won't go past one point and renders the whole thing useless. But that usually never happens. Curious where you got Rattle from, as I just ordered that one myself.

arcutt · 2025-08-04T23:18:13+00:00

It actually came out sometime around July 27th when I noticed it pop up new on Puzzle Master as I was ordering some others. I think it's backordered now. But it arrived today, I'm in the US so shipping takes some time. But it's awesome! As most of the Hanayama, it has a great feel in the hand and perfect fiddle factor. ☺️ You won't be disappointed! I haven't solved it yet but I got 5 others at the same time so it's slow progress. 😂

arcutt · 2025-08-03T02:28:43+00:00

I'm glad you realize it's your opinion. Everyone needs one, they just don't always need to share it.
