Welcome to my profile! While I figure out what I'm even doing here (besides following friends), my posts will probably be standard social media fare. Expect pet pics, food I decided to cook that day, and the occasional self-promo. Just don't expect too much; I am a professional lurker after all 😛
Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution felt like it just wasn't going to work. I had the right side nailed down pretty early, but couldn't get the left side easily. I was down to one piece, the small L, and put it where I had already placed something else, and kept that up until this happened.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution once again became trivial once I swapped the initial positions I had in mind for the long L and I pieces.

...it also didn't help that my initial attempt was accidentally solving for a Friday instead of Tuesday 😅. Guess I'm just looking ahead to some time off!

Have a great week everyone!

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution, was a nice and easy one to start the week. After starting from scratch, only one piece had to be picked back up once placed, and it was the I, which was originally set where the long L is now. The long S placement feels especially satisfying the way it worked.

It's not often in the series that I have to turn the Z piece sideways, especially in the middle of the board. But that (and the U placement, as always) was the key for today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution was tough to come by, taking several tries. However, each unsuccessful attempt was very similar to what would ultimately be the final one. Once I found a place for the Z at the bottom and the T at the top (instead of insisting on the opposite) it all clicked.

TOMORROW IS THE CHARITY STREAM DAY!

8 AM CST, I'll be live with some dear friends raising money for Trans Lifeline.

We're playing some Valheim with crowd control, so you get to torture us in the name of providing support to those in need!

We'll see you bright and early! <3

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution featured more navigating gaps on the right using difficult pieces, with the ultimate goal of keeping pieces that play nicer with one another to fill in the void on the left side.

Tomorrow, we go back to "normal" when the day square moves to the left once more.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution, in contrast to yesterday's, was much easier, even with basically the same amount of open space on half the board. It's probably because I was able to get the toughest pieces out of the way right away on the right side.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution felt trickier than normal for how much of the left side of the board was open to me. Still not terrible, but the long S piece was giving me more trouble than I had anticipated at first. Once that one was good, the rest of them fell right into place though.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution used the "rapidly swap around pieces until something works" method, and it worked surprisingly quickly (under 2 minutes), despite the number of swaps (upwards of 30). Did some of the swaps simply undo a previous one? Maybe, but I still count them.

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution on a slow, chilly Monday morning. Hoping that work stays chill, but not slow, and that the sun stays out to help my mood and energy, because the coffee is taking its time to kick in.

Hope all of you reading this have a calm Monday and rest of the week as well!

Today's #DailyPuzzleChallenge solution was a tough one. I guess it would be fitting for a Sunday puzzle if this were published in a newspaper or some other series where difficulty scales from Monday (easy) to Sunday (diabolical). Ultimately, the key was to use the bendiest pieces around the 16.
