    Thank you for the video! I need to preserve and display a scratch off puzzle which will continue to be scratched off while mounted: it is a puzzle of the world and as you travel and visit countries, you scratch off the location you visited. It took a long time to put together, so I want to mount it but it must be scratchable (😅) Obviously, I wouldn't put anything on the front but what would be the sturdiest but cost effective way of preserving and presenting it, without warping? Any ideas?

    I have a Samurai SUDOKU jigsaw puzzle that I've already solved. It's another version to the crossword you have. A challenger puzzle, is what they were called on Amazon, a jigsaw puzzle of another kind of puzzle. I love SUDOKU, and Samurai are my favorite type to do.💜👍

    I did a Crossword Puzzle Jigsaw, and it was harder than it seemed like it should. I don't remember the piece count, but I think it was 1000.

    Oh, that puzzle was way too busy! Good for you for your 7th place. Loved the puzzle haul -- especially that 300-piece Ravensburger. I agree the 300-piece puzzles are the best way to relax and still enjoy puzzling.

    The 300 piece Ravensburger macaron puzzle is not easy AT ALL! Pro tip: The pink one in the foreground is not resting on a spoon... it's more like a fork with three prongs... I spent A LOT of time trying to get the "spoon" together... 😀

    Hahahah thanks for the warning!!! 😅 It happened to me before, when I was doing a puzzle without the picture where I was accidentally puzzling upside down and didn't clock that. Took me forever to figure it out, after countless attempts of finding the right pieces 😬

    Morocco Hotel puzzle is absolutely stunning! 🤩 And yes, the competition puzzle was quite difficult for my opinion, but some people enjoy busy puzzles 😅 It was funny when a friend at the competition said: I love how detailed the puzzle is - just goes to show the difference, because I just saw how busy it was 😂🙈

    Glad you had a good time, even if you found it a bit cold. With the competition I got the impression, from what you were saying, that the organisers weren't very well organised with getting finishing times? I can appreciate you finding the jigsaw difficult. It's one I did recently and I found it tricky to do. Of the puzzles you listed I have done 2, 4, 5 & 8. Cream Teas and Queueing is very British! I don't know why you mentioned your eye. Whatever was wrong with it was not obvious at all. Look forward to your next video.

    I had a great time! It's still England at the end of the day 🤩 Yes, the competition wasn't very well organised, or maybe it's better to say that it felt more like a friendly puzzle along as opposed to an actual competition 😅 And yes, I definitely found this puzzle difficult, so well done for doing it by yourself! 👏🏻 You've done many puzzles from my list! I hope you enjoyed them 🤗 And the reason why I mentioned my eye is because it was so red. I think the colour grading made it less obvious, but I got really ill and had an eye infection to go with it. My vision is still blurry when my eye gets tired, but it's getting better every day! 😁👌🏻 Thank you! 🥰

    Nice to see you Janette, I think the key to your puzzling success with the geometric tiger image is due to your years of not looking at the image when you puzzle. You are following the shapes. And I find it interesting because the time you spent staring at a picture is time you can use to place a piece. I own the Aimee Stewart “Purrfect peace” puzzle and the 550 piece Crossword puzzle too. If you watch Ric’s Nifty puzzles, from New Zealand, he did it on his channel. It is fun to put together, many of his followers helped him with some of the answers😊

  • @NinaW1n
    @NinaW1n4 күн бұрын

    I really like Rics channel, he takes so much time for every puzzle piece and focusses on every small detail, plus he always gives lots of background information about the puzzle, its a very informative and enjoyable channel! I participated in both the botyp and Rics 'am i the slowest puzzler on earth' contest haha, his channel has a very different, slower, approach to puzzling.🙂

  • @janetteandherpuzzles
    @janetteandherpuzzles3 күн бұрын

    Yes, you're right! I didn't think of that, but looking at the picture takes the time away from puzzling, especially when it's difficult to find the piece you're looking for 😅 Thanks for the info on Ric's channel - I have seen some of his videos, but have missed the one with the crossword puzzle. I'm intrigued to go check it, but I don't wanna spoil it for myself in case it's the exact same one. I love the idea of subscribers helping with the crossword 🤩 And yes Nina, I agree that it's a channel with completely different approach to puzzling and that's the beauty of it - we all love puzzles in a different way 😍

    First, can I just say you look stunning in red, such a beautiful woman. But this is about puzzles, so back to that. I enjoy watching your videos and hearing your opinions on how they are constructed, or cut, or the ease/difficulty of the image. Keep up the great job of sharing your love of puzzling.

Although it looks easier than Tigers in Paradise because of the amount of specific details it also could be overwhelming for the exact same reason, I'm not sure yet hahaha.

    Thank you so much! 🤗 Uh that's a tough question 🤔 I didn't do any other 3k puzzle, so for me, doing this puzzle as my first 3k puzzle after only doing 500 and 1000 piece puzzles, I'd say it was a 6 - it wasn't difficult, but it just took longer. The searching process is a lot longer with larger puzzles and there was a lot of sorting, but I managed to solve the entire puzzle without any additional help, which I count as not that difficult 😊
