Do you think you would ever do an Impossibles puzzle? Thank you to everyone for watching and for signing up for my Patreon! I'm blown away by all of the support!

[@CordeliaFox]

now way. for me dark puzzles are impossible 😅

[@reighanaguirre8835]

I really want to recommend you try to solve the impossibles puzzle in VAT19 🤩🤩 It has decoy pieces and like I THINK IT WOULD BE SO ENTERTAINING WHEN YOU TO TRY TO SOLVE IT FOR THE VIDEOOO

[@katatanemra3409]

im currently at a only white puzzle - is that impossible? :D (i found you randomly and i love watching your videos while puzzling :D

[@amandapetersen4247]

I found the Stroke of Luck impossibles puzzle at Good Will a couple weeks ago and thought of this video. It's not a puzzle I would have normally chosen, but I couldn't pass it up for $3. I just finished it. The extra pieces definitely threw me off a little lol. It wasn't my favorite puzzle to do, but I'm feeling accomplished at finishing it now.

[@TheJayne21]

I did two of them back in 2001. The butterfly one which took me a week and the jellybean one which took me about a month

[@01Aurelia]

I just finished my hardest puzzle yet. BLUE KAZOO.. Nebula. I'm 73 and my eyes are not the best. So many dark upon dark. I really like the quality of their puzzles. This is my 1st of the Galaxy Series, and my 4th puzzle finished. Earth, Starry Wave and Color Wheel.

[@Skittl1321]

Great job! That one is hard

[@criscusack]

I love theirs. I just did Earth, and I have Sun and Moon on the way.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

I got my first pair of glasses at age 3. If I don’t have a sharp lamp I get the worst headaches.i really want to do the Galaxy series, I hope it’s not too hard. All the best puzzling ahead.

[@01Aurelia]

@@charisma-hornum-fries Thanks! I have 3 lamps shining down. I can increase or decrease the brightness. Nebula was extremely hard for me. I am now doing Puzzle Twist "Welcome to KC." So many bright colors. I am loving it.

I’ve never completed a jigsaw puzzle, I have 0 interest in this hobby and I’d hate if I was forced to do one, but.. still here I am?? This channel just makes sense. Karen has such a captivating personality that makes it watching something “boring” very very fun and entertaining. I love her so much, love falling asleep to these kind of lengthy videos.

[@myamazinglife4389]

I think doing puzzles is very relaxing and almost like meditation. It helps me forget about the worries and stress of life and just relax while also giving my brain a fun challenge

[@eufaemia]

Honestly, I don't dislike jigsaw puzzles. They are quite nostalgic bringing back memories to lazy summer days at my grandma's. That said, I would never invest in buying my own, regardless of the price. I'm just not interested at all. There are so much more enjoyable things to do for leizure for me, but for some reason, watching Karen, someone who is completely dedicated to this nische hobby, is a pleasure all on it's own.

[@MrDinglebob]

You've turned doing jigsaw puzzles into a career??? Oh my God! You've completely won at life! Go you!

[@user-rx5ye]

Can we all just acknowledge Karen’s genuine care for her supporters and audience? I’ve grown to respect her and her passion for puzzles, her energy and content is unique not to mention the patron affordable prices, it truly shows her character and i’m glad to have found her channel. ❤️

[@tactical1981]

I just love Karen’s personality. She could be counting out grains of rice and I’d still watch. Such a lovely human!

[@payableondeath7]

Back in the 90s my dad and I put together a circular JP that was all black and had 30 extra pieces. We saw it in a mall on vacation and decided to do it when we got home. It took about two weeks to finish (between me being in school and him working, and other things like church etc). It was sort of flatly satisfying to finish because like WOW it took a while but then it’s just a black circle… until you flip it over and it said GOOD JOB on the back! I didn’t know about it, and honestly my dad was the kind of guy that could figure out how to do that on his own time when I wasn’t home or in bed, but it made it 100x better

[@atianacooper]

I need Karen to make her own "impossible" puzzle now.

I did the "Something Fishy" impossibles puzzle. Definitely not impossible. Interestingly, my 5 extra pieces all connected to each other and I could identify exactly where they were duplicates and fit into the puzzle.

[@MaritSchulte]

I have something fishy at home as well! Haven't tried it since maybe 15 years ago when I was 10 and gave up pretty quickly. I've recently really been thinking about trying it again. I think this is the sign to do it!

[@ellaheath6491]

I think I did this puzzle at a holiday home a few years ago and it was actually easier than I expected

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Karen, I don’t think they factored you in making ‘Impossibles’. For you, it should’ve been ‘Very Much Possible’.

[@ayexmadeline]

I did this puzzle on my TikTok. I was so excited to see your reaction to how all the extra 5 pieces are connected. It really made me sad because it was so easy to see which ones did not go with the puzzle! I wanted more of a challenge lol

[@annettem3584]

Yay Karen is full time puzzling now! I'm so happy that this wasn't an impossible goal for you!

[@Lisa_Flowers]

I swear Karen hoarded all the kindness from every other Karen lmao. How thoughtful of you to set your patreon prices the way you did! Even if you didn't have to, and it would have been 100% okay for you to charge more. I will never not appreciate how thoughtful and kind you are about so many things.

[@tparadox88]

One of my grandmother's hobbies for a long time was jigsaw puzzles, and I clearly remember that our family got her the Impossibles with the stamps design ("Return to Sender"). It was the first time we heard of a puzzle with gimmicks designed to counter normal puzzle strategies, and we were sure it would take her a few weeks. She said it took her about four hours, including connecting the extra pieces to each other.

[@lucyverdonk314]

I have been loving your videos so much recently! I don't really puzzle myself, but I work full time (divided over three jobs) mostly in the service industry/bars and a lot of times after I come home from a closing shift (like now, it's past 4am and I just worked a gruelling shift) I love to unwind with some crisps and your videos, it's perfect! So thank you so much, I absolutely adore your energy :))))

[@jblack2319]

So happy to say I am a 5 dollar patreon. You are the first person I've ever thought about joining. Puzzles make me so happy and finding someone that shares that joy is nice! Hope this year goes better then any years in the past. Now back to the video for me lol

[@KarenPuzzles]

Oh my gosh, I appreciate that so much. I hope you like all of the bonus content over there!

[@Tourettes0]

this is so sweet

[@margretsnae]

I really appreciate that you do old puzzles as well as new ones. And how you always find something positive to say about the puzzles, or things that would be positive for others, as not all puzzlers are looking for the same type of puzzles!

[@jurgnobs1308]

except the Heinz ketchup one. pure hate for that one hahahah

you were way more critical and did a lot of analysis and critique in this one, showing your knowledge and experience with puzzles. I really liked that aspect of this video, hope to see more of that in the future :)

[@matildanorberg]

So happy to see you not ending up in the “what have I done”-puzzles once in a while. I have never done an impossible puzzle… (if it doesn’t count that I’ve given up on a couple of boring ones! ). The most challenging one to date was the bottom half of Scandinavian presence “the great prince”. Closing in on single colour…

[@delaneykeller1389]

I think you have the kindest and most empathetic Patreon situation I've ever heard. Everyone gets the same and they pay what they can. I'm not apart of your Patreon but if I had an income I for sure would, even if I wasn't interested in the content, just because it's so dang nice of you to have it set up the way you do.

[@ameliasparkles13]

Puzzles are usually a struggle for me and I don’t usually like to do them. Since finding your channel I suddenly want to go get one haha Congratulations on being able to make this your full time job!! ✨

[@KarenPuzzles]

I hope you get one and have fun doing it!

[@damalewis9277]

Go get one, girl! If you're nervous about it being too much of a struggle, go for a lower piece count, a grid pattern, and/or blocks of color.

[@Jaxom35x]

It is nice to hear someone's true feeling and experience. Critiquing something in an honest manner that isn't dripping honeyed words or derogatory is the absolute best way to do it and you nailed it. Giving optional views on something for people who don't have the same experience or knowledge as yourself is a testament to charismatic ability to have a channel and community, good job.

[@ceemay3981]

The fact that I had several of those Nokia phones as a teenager makes me love this puzzle. SO much nostalgia

[@rishibeauty8889]

Will you consider working on the Bits & Pieces 1000 piece “Peacock” puzzle? There are so many votes on Amazon saying it’s too difficult & people give up on it. I figure if anybody can do it, you can.

[@vegskater1741]

I went to Amazon and read some reviews for that peacock puzzle. What I found is that people were mostly disappointed with the quality of the puzzle, not that they couldn't complete it. It doesn't look that hard -- I'm sure I could put it together.

[@markhanson6563]

Karen, I love how you identified the most fun part of the puzzle - joining sections together. So great.

[@mistybenjamin9009]

I have been working on an "impossible" puzzle that I bought from Dollar Tree. It's actually tough, for me, and amazingly good quality for being Dollar Tree. It's a 1000 piece puzzle.

I am working on the candy land puzzle right now! I’m about 40% done. I did the monopoly impossibilities puzzle a couple weeks ago.

Whether the puzzle in question is easy or difficult, it’s impossible not to enjoy a Karen Puzzles video!

[@thepeaks4000]

Karen, you are a puzzle inspiration. I recently started puzzling and am quickly realizing all puzzles are not created equal. Quality and therefore the experience can really vary. Thanks so much for what you do I look forward to seeing more of your content.

[@KarenPuzzles]

I'm happy you'll be watching my puzzle videos in the future!

[@lizhart81]

Wow, that is some classic Y2K graphic design on the back of the first box - I'm sure I had some software that came in a box with that same typeface. It makes me quite nostalgic for my first mobile, which was a little pink Erikson flip phone of a similar vintage to that puzzle. I spend a fair amount of time trying to choose challenging but not frustratingly difficult puzzles, and I've discovered that the key for me is to go for designs with plenty of different textures, lots of colour, and little details. Anything with large areas of flat colours I find not so much difficult as a dull, chore-like experience - especially if it's a ribbon cut with standard piece shapes, requiring trial and error and a degree of sheer bloody-mindedness to complete.

I have the Candy Land puzzle, and I had the exact same extra pieces. I agree that it definitely wasn't "impossible" as advertised. The hardest part was all the pieces falling apart when you move sections.

[@SheLovesVampires]

LMAO I was like... why is no one making a puzzle brand/using the pun "impuzzable", I'm so happy you mentioned that in the end. Great mind think alike!!! Also I did the Minions one and it was no fun at all. I had to look up every single piece on the box and play "find the differences" which was exhausting. It took me 50-60hours and could only do 2/3 hours a day... do not recommend!! Although I would be curious how you would solve them and how long it would take you!!

A puzzle without edges? That’s ‘edgy’ content in this part of the Internet 😂

[@KarenPuzzles]

lol omg

[@frogleymom]

My husband said they should make a puzzle with a repeating pattern and cut that actually loops around the edge, so you don't have a clear edge at all...like the top row could actually connect to the bottom row, and the left side could fit into the right side. That could be super interesting.

Thank you Karen for all your videos! Thanks to you, I rediscovered my love for puzzling! In the past few months, I completed three 1000 pieces puzzles. I followed your advice of looking for gradient puzzle for the first time since they are easier.

I have done 2 of the Impossibles puzzles. The one with angel kittens on clouds on a blue background called 9 Lives and the Fourteen Carrot one which is gemstones on a yellow back ground. I found them fun but I definitely finished them in one day/sitting on my own. They are not as difficult as the 'Worlds most difficult' line which have double sided, rotated 90 degree printing. Those puzzles have fewer pieces and take longer for me.
