A quick video because I wanted to share all of this behind the scenes footage 😊 Stay tuned because in the next one, I’m trying ALL of the individual puzzles from Nationals and Worlds and comparing my times. That’ll be up this week or next week, depending on when the last puzzle comes in the mail!

You are like the ambassador of puzzling here in America. I am not even amazed that The NY Times has you in there. You have been cheering me up for 3 years now, and I love your attitude, your style, and your realistic love for puzzling. It is wonderful to watch. Thank you .

@BoveeTV 28 дней назад

My dad sent me that article, not knowing I watch you but just knowing I love puzzles and I was shocked to see you in there

@kimberlywebb2218 28 дней назад

What a beautiful, full circle moment of the viewfinder picture. Congratulations Karen! 🎉 You deserve every bit of this.

Ok, I immediately thought thought you’d found the Little Boy Blue puzzle, but this is much better.😂😂😂

@KarenPuzzles 28 дней назад

@MissDarlaDeville 28 дней назад

So sweet that you know this

@RandomGirl.RandamuOn-nanoko 28 дней назад

Literally exactly what I thought. VL

@KittyxKult 28 дней назад

We had the same thought

@icturner23 28 дней назад

Surely another big reason to choose that jigsaw for the New York Times was that it is… of New York?!?

@camipco 27 дней назад

If there's one thing New Yorkers like, it's New York.

@maisonneuve 27 дней назад

Literally thought that would be THE reason. Haha

@nancymandle5215 28 дней назад

CONGRATULATIONS, Karen!!!!! I have been following your channel for years, and it is delightful to see all your hard work, research, hunting down rare puzzles, etc. be recognized - you have done so much to put puzzling “on the map” and i love being able to say, “oh, yes i knew karen way back, before she was FAMOUS”.

@icturner23 28 дней назад

Congrats Karen! I’ve not been featured in a newspaper except my local one but I have been quoted in the Guardian by George Monbiot and even that was a thrill for me in the same way as the Guardian has been the highest-regarded newspaper all my life.

@arturogonzalez1274 28 дней назад

I'm sure that the people who print the puzzle can make the article page also, they take it from the PDF and it is a recent issue, very accesible.

@user-yv8yi5lq2o 27 дней назад

I've been puzzling for 13 years and just last week I discovered you on RU-vid after reading about you in that same NY Times article. I thought I loved puzzling but watching you and your love for puzzles, I am just blown away. You bring the social aspect into puzzling that I could never do. Your talents encompass a lot more than puzzling, the video, the presenting, your wonderful energy, all shine brightly. Thank you for doing what you do. Inviting people to discover the joy of puzzling, you do a very great service for all.
