Where do I buy the puzzle, How much is it

"Okay, let's first sort out all the edge pieces." (Two seconds later) "Okay, that part's done..."

If you ask me, then all the corners are edges, but not all the edges are corners. 😄 But they could have changed up the pattern so it was a little less regular and added false corners, I think it would have made it a little more challenging.

If you look at the patent figures (one and two) from the video, it looks like they have some corner pieces. So there might be a version out there (unless they were just iterations before the final product)!

Exactly! I was wondering if there would be many corner pieces! Now that would be tricky!

One thing that I appreciate is that the sections are easy to move around (or at least it looks like it on the video). It's not easy to do that with only edge pieces, some companies can't even do that with normal pieces!!

I am not a lawyer, but cursory research suggests that the patent has expired and other companies could take the idea and run with it. They probably couldn't call it The Edge, since that would fall under copyright or trademark which lasts longer. Having said that, I like how the puzzle is designed to stick together even though it has "edge" pieces. Karen was even moving sections of the puzzle around without problem.

I love that you mix up the puzzles at the end to make new art pieces. I always think the mix ups look really cool. I also never paid attention to how puzzle pictures have changed over time until you mentioned it. How those random crazy animal prints were an early 2000s thing while the trend for puzzles made today is gradients and like that modern, corporate art style. When I think of puzzles I think of those really simple ones that's like a photo of 2 puppies, but those are really old. It would be cool to see like a video of puzzle trends throughout history, showing how the type of picture on the puzzle has changed.

I counted.... You said edge 23 times, edges 5 times and then you said borders 5 times when you got tired of edges 😀 I might have missed a few though.. counting almost took me over THE EDGE

Usually when I think about the difficulty level I see 2 perspectives: mine, a skilled puzzler, and the other, which is the person that rarely does puzzles. These "extreme" puzzles are usually meant to be difficult for the non-skilled puzzlers, not us lol. It was interesting to watch you do it because you always start by sorting the edge and this time it wasn't really a possibility 😂 but I love how smart they were while designing it, I was afraid it would be like the spilt milk puzzle where the pattern was random and it didn't lock together. Glad it wasn't the case!!

Your last video was randomly recommended to me about six days ago and I went down a rabbit hole just watching your videos for about three days and I keep coming back. It's so calming and interesting. I have to thank you, because of finding your channel I finally completed a 1,000 piece puzzle that's been on my dining room table for about 13 months. I had about a third of it left that I finished in about 4-5 days. And now I'm in a puzzling mood. I put together this 300 piece puzzle that I used to be able to in about an hour as a kid to see if I still had it (I do). And now I'm revisiting an 800 piece puzzle that I got for Christmas while I wait for my two new 500 piece puzzles to arrive. I've found that I love starting my day off drinking my morning coffee and smoothy while working on a puzzle. It's a nice, calm start of the day.

My brain kept going "Uh! An edge piece!" At every piece you picked up...

“Why do I do this” 😁 … because you like to live on the “edge”. But it so cheers us up, Dr Puzzles. 🖖🏼

I have to say, I'm COMPLETELY surprised that the Mona Lisa puzzle went more quickly. After you flipped them all over, it looked like complete chaos! But have no fear... Karen is HERE... and you crushed it! Amazing!

I would definitely be up to the challenge but not the one you just did. Although I’m a cat mama but Just because you’ve done it already. 😃 Edit: I thought you only did the cat one. Anyway I don’t think it’s fun puzzling the same as you and others already solved on KZread. The Mona Lisa looks fun puzzling.

Karen is not kidding about having done a lot of stuff on KZread. She is like one of the KZread OG. I remember seeing her around in the nerdfighter side of KZread in like 2008-ish era.

This type of pet image was made a lot in the early 2000's. I saw it on stickers and elementary school valentine's and stuff. I don't know if anyone liked them or if companies made it up, and consumers didn't take care what designs they bought for kids. I always thought they looked unsettling, even as a child.

Those 2 partially joined pieces of the cat puzzle reminded me of a old Springbok I thrifted, where two of the edge pieces weren't fully cut through at all, so they were one conjoined piece. Pretty fun to see.

The second she opened the box I was thinking, this is going to be a piece of cake for her!

Karen is awesome. She is not afraid to show everyone what her passion is. It's great. You might think you are the only one who likes a certain thing. You are not. Let people know what makes you smile, and you will find your people.

I like watching the dance of the unknown pieces beside the puzzle as you reorganise.

The edge! That was so much easier than I thought it would be or maybe Karen is just that good as a puzzler!

I love when you find easy puzzles; because they would end up being difficult for me. I may need to know what you find to be really easy to find the best fit for me! Either way, I love watching you do puzzles.

Congratulations, Karen, for posting the _edgiest_ KZread video of 2022! 😃

I was so relieved when Karen didn't mix the 2 puzzles together 😂

I feel like the "extreme" difficulty is only for people who don't know the secret strategy of sorting pieces... Like, many people would probably have done The Edge last on the cat picture anyway, since there's so little information from the visuals. The Mona Lisa picture you did looked like a really satisfying strategy to use! Makes me want to try out a many small images type of puzzle like that.

"There we go, the very last edge piece!" Okay, now do the insides! Oh, wait...

I'm with you about animal photos on puzzles being gross. I feel the same about photos of people as well. No close ups on flesh thank you. I prefer an illustration any day!

So much fun, as always. Thanks for taking us to The Edge!

I'm so happy I found your channel! I know nothing about puzzles but absolutely love your energy and how much you love what you do, your mind is amazing!!

I've always considered corner pieces to be edge pieces because they are part of the edge.......

Stumbled on your content and I adore it! I’ve never been much into puzzle but you’re delightful to watch. I’ve been quite sick with Covid and I d been binging your videos and it’s cheering me up haha, so thank you!!

Corners are edges too. Just because they have two edges does not make them less edgy.

Thanks Karen. I’m ill and it was nice to have a video to watch that was straightforward and easy.

So much fun! Added challenge with the straight edges, but the design made it fairly easy to go together.

3:50 Corner pieces are a subset of edge pieces! No lie. Really good critique and analysis at the end.

OMG that Mona Lisa puzzle is so lovely sending love from a new Zealand puzzler I've used your tape trick so my puzzle don't crumble away and I love it so much

The Edge. A puzzling frontier 😆 I love the concept of these puzzles! Never hear of them before and now I want to try, but I wish the images weren’t so random 😄

I love where you mixed them up - very creative!

EXTREME is how the US Forest Service describes the fire danger in my local mountains. I don't think these edge puzzles are that. Also, that Norwegian girl's head might explode if she tried this.

The Edge - I love these videos! I also think it's so cool when you swap sections of puzzles with the same cut.

I would love to try it out! I definitely consider corner pieces edge pieces as well.

The Edge. I'm glad I found your channel. Your videos are so much fun to watch. I've always liked puzzles but haven't done any in awhile. Now I want to do some. Lol

No need to apologize they lied to us and thank you for the PSA! Such a fun video as always and I would love to try one

I really enjoyed this video, would definitely try one of the edge puzzles. It was great to see you not struggling for a change 😄🤩

I'm not sure how your channel got recommended to me Karen, but I watched a few episodes and I was hooked😁 I LOVE your enthusiasm for jigsaw puzzles. I greatly admire the amount of time, effort, and research you put into your videos. The joy you have for jigsaw puzzling shines through in all your videos, which makes me smile.

This looks like a puzzle i'll like to try someday! Very interesting! Thanks for all the effort into making this video, really appreciate it!

I really must say, your laugh is just so sweet. Keep up the positive attitude!

I would describe myself as an intermediate level puzzler and I think I would find these fairly challenging. You might say they might even take me... over The Edge.

Thiiiiiis is the puzzle-nerdom level I needed today! Thank you!

Wow! You seemed to have great amounts of fun and joy with these puzzles! and you especially enjoyed saying "the edge" every chance you had! So fun!

The Tron lines over the face of the cat is just pure gold 😂

OMG You should TOTALLY get several bigger puzzles with the same cut and make collages!! Those were super fun!

You make jigsaws so intresting

Oh, dear! I forgot to comment that I came to your channel way back 2 years ago when you gave "Natalie and Tara" advice on how to puzzle! Been here ever since.

You are so smart in figuring stuff out.

From the box layout I thought this was from the eighties or maybe the nineties 😂 this was a fun puzzling video! The edge idea was unique enough to still make it really interesting!

The Edge. I love how interesting this puzzle is but I agree with you that it could be better. I noticed early on that the inside edge pieces are curved, but it still looks really fun to do. You find the neatest puzzles thank you for sharing them with us.

I absolutely love the cupcake kitty image!!! It's so cute 😍😍

I remember when I had a T-shirt with Giovanopoulos' Mona Lisa variations back in the 90's. It was one of my favorite T-shirts!

I m having too much fun watching your videos. You are an awesome human being. Image a puzzle with only corner pieces so you don t know where the edge is ! Keep up your good work ! Happy puzzling!

I had a similar issue with the puzzle pieces moving, as the two edge pieces together, when I did a 1500 puzzle with some unique cuts, they moved around a lot when I didn't have a piece connecting them together permanently.

Now we need a all corner puzzle to complete the trio

I would definitely try one of the edge only puzzles. Looks like fun!

They need to make one of these that's a picture of Edge from U2, just to further the edgeness

As I am working on a White Mountain Kitten puzzle I was surprised to get this video in my feed with you working on a puzzle with a cat, lol. I love the idea of doing The Edge type puzzles.

As a pun aficionado, I think I would enjoy a puzzle by The Edge that featured a collage of images of Irish musician The Edge. I’m not a big U2 fan or anything, I just appreciate people who see an obvious joke and put way too much time and energy into bringing it into the world for us to giggle and groan at. 😆 (See also: a P4A puzzle with no edges, and an image of Hank Green’s galaxy brain moment: “NO EDGE!!!!!!!”)

So if you really want to challenge yourself, have your sister put together a thousand piece puzzle and then take off the border pieces. You would then have to put the puzzle together without any edge at all. Your sister could pick the puzzle. Ooh, she could be as cruel as she wanted... Lol. Love you Karen! 😁❤️

I would love to try one. I've done a few early 1990's F.X. Schmid puzzles that have a lot of interior pieces with flat sides so that makes it difficult to get the edge done early on. I did one a few weeks ago 1500pc and finally got the last true edge piece with only about 40 pieces remaining.

I like your ones and the pyramid animals and the stage curtains

Finally, a puzzle that can unite the two factions of edge-first and edge-last.

I love that I found this channel. You are so wholesome and sweet :)

Edge - Have you seen the video over on the “Stuff Made Here” channel? Jigzila, a puzzle solving robot. He gives it an all white puzzle to solve!!! Anyway, I’m sure that you have been told about this about a million times, but hey, I just wanted to be the million and 1th person to let you know.

I don't know if you heard of the Wasgij Mystery Puzzles. The concept is based on the theme of the puzzle artwork on the box who represents what the characters are looking at. You must therefore use your imagination and rely on the clues in the artwork to reconstruct the image. i had one little and it took me days ahah. Love your videos btw! :))

I came across you channel and I like the different puzzles you do. At the moment I am doing a 1000 piece Harry Potter movies posters and I am starting from movie one then to two, ect rather then starting from the borders. I like to start with sections first(with colours) I find it is easy instead if looking for the border pieces first and is way faster. Keep up the good work. I also finished a 500 piece Cat puzzle which it the highest piece Puzzle I have ever done. Took a whole day even with breaks and stretching(which I made sure I ate, drank and stretch my legs too

The Thron intro at the end is so underrated - I love this idea!!!

Thank you for the vid ! Glad to see you do a puzzle that doesn t give you too much trouble this time ^^ Also, are the puzzles recent. It seems logical that they would include as much as they can in an early patent, so they can produce these new ideas over the following years (which they might if this one works well)

Great images! I agree on the fur in puzzles but it's a cute image! Thank you for your puzzling sacrifice for the sake of the KZread. The edge.
