Happy National Puzzle Day to all my fellow puzzlers!
From the National Day Calendar website, here is the origin story of this day:
In 2002, Jodi Jill created National Puzzle Day as a way to share her enjoyment of puzzles. As a syndicated newspaper puzzle maker and professional quiz maker, Jodi Jill developed classroom lesson plans especially for the observance and the popularity has grown year after year.
I started puzzling in June 2021, after my therapist suggested I find a hobby in addition to my interest in reading. Here is the puzzle that started it all:
This was titled Rare and Beautiful, a 500-piece puzzle from Puzzle Crush. Since then, I have completed 172 unique puzzles and done a few a second time as well. I have connected with fellow puzzlers on Facebook, Instagram, and even Reddit.
National Puzzle Day is for any type of puzzle, not just jigsaw puzzles, so you could do a crossword, word search, Sudoku, or a brain teaser, to list a few examples. I am having a friend over tonight, and we will be doing a jigsaw puzzle together.
Do you enjoy any kind of puzzles?
