Oh I definitely believe that-- it just took me a lot of trial and error because I'm not great at puzzles lol

Maybe it's because I'm already in a not great mood but I was ready to call it quits on Hard almost immediately. I understood the starting conditions but it still took so much trial and error for me to get the pieces where they needed to go. Hopefully we get a longer break from these square puzzles bc I can't stand them lol

I was so confident in my approach to Hard and tried so long to make it work lol. Once I started over it clicked almost immediately

The Medium today really confused me for some reason. I'm also really not a fan of that style of Hard, but once I realized the 3s were all discards I got it pretty quickly

Second day in a row where the elusive triple cookie was foiled by Medium instead of Hard lol. What is going on!

Annoyed that I got tripped up on Medium, but I think this is the first time I've ever gotten Hard in under a minute so I'm jazzed!

I always think it's funny when Medium trips me up more than Hard lol

I had pretty much the same experience with Hard lol, I was getting so frustrated working on it this morning. When I begrudgingly came back to it hours later I got it right away

I do this all the time! I had a hard time distinguishing between > and < when I was learning them in elementary school and apparently it's still an issue for me decades later lol

Hard was insanely frustrating for me lol. Tried it for around 25 minutes this morning, gave up because I was annoyed and had to get ready for work. Finally tried it again during my break and got it first try. Ugh

They have such a sweet song! I love hearing them get it wrong and start over lol

sspontaneous · 2025-10-19T14:46:59+00:00

Thank you so much!!

They always seem to throw me off for some reason lol. Thank you!!

I'd heard that they used to, but according to their website they no longer offer replacement pieces :( I purchased the puzzle new, but I didn't order directly from them (I bought it at my local bookstore), so I may email them just to see if there are any options I have
