Is this genuinely the most difficult puzzle in the world?

Would you attempt this sudoku jigsaw puzzle? If you've done other puzzles from the same series, share some of your strategies!

I think they missed an opportunity to have the sudokus on the box be unsolved but the sudokus in the puzzle be complete, so that solving the sudokus would help you solve the puzzle.

I feel like the "cheat sheet" makes the puzzle experience more fun. Else it would just get too frustrating and takes out the enjoyment. For me its not cheating but an excellent tool!

Imagine being the ones who gave her this puzzle not being able to complete it in months..and here she is completing it in a few days 😂

As a “recovering perfectionist” I appreciate your taking the attitude that the edge of this puzzle only had to be “good enough,” rather than exactly replicating the original cut. Given the uniformity of the colour and the similarity of the piece shapes, the puzzle itself really isn’t inviting or enabling you to do anything else, but I’ve definitely been in situations where I have stubbornly stuck to an unachievable goal (and consequently ended up getting stuck, spinning my wheels, and becoming increasingly annoyed with the situation, myself, and the world) rather than taking a more practical approach. But as you implied, succeeding at anything is ultimately a numbers game… You’re better off finishing 5 projects well enough than sinking your whole life into a single one that may end up “perfect” in your eyes but doesn’t have the same impact on others!

It is forever satisfying watching someone rise for such a big challenge. The methodicalness of your approach, and then then seeing you do it so frickin well! I rarely even puzzle, but this is entirely the reason to watch.

I feel that making identically-shaped pieces is a cheat from the manufacturer, so little cheats are more than acceptable

The "cheat sheet" wasn't cheating; it was brilliant!

As a professional puzzle constructor, I'd paused the video halfway through to take a look at that third Sudoku to see what happened. Given the '9' in the bottom-left matched '9's in both its row and its column, I figured that one digit was in error and probably was intended to be a '6' (as after all, a '9' is a '6' upside-down: numbers , I tell you ;) XD). Of course, by the end of the video you showed my suspicion was correct, but at the time, I tried solving the puzzle without any digit given there. What I found was that, in that case, the puzzle had exactly TWO solutions. So if anyone reading this wants a bonus puzzle, try that third Sudoku but without the '6' in the bottom-left corner and see if you can find the only other digit that makes the puzzle solvable (it will also have only one solution if given it's not '6').

i feel like the "cheat sheet" should have been included in the box

That’s definitely NOT cheating!

It blows my mind how well you're doing with this. It seems like it would be impossible.

My dad and I did a Dalmatian’s puzzle from this brand. Our strategy was that we realized that it would be a mirror image across the diagonal so every piece would have an pair. We then flipped one of each pair so we could see one of each picture and each time we found where a piece went we also put in the other along the diagonal. Not sure if this would have worked for this puzzle as there are so many blank squares. Also, my dad never uses the box so it is always more difficult.

my only strategy would be burning this puzzle. it really hurts my head thinking about it! cant wait for the next puzzle video - this time with less numbers! :)

Karen, as long as somebody starts with a fully randomized pile of unconnected pieces, anything that the solver does is NOT cheating... BTW, NUMBERS...

I love doing sudoku and this is my time doing them: Sudoku 1- 4:04 Sudoku 2- 4:51 Sudoku 3- 4:10 Sudoku 4- 4:34 This is my firts time I write a comment on this channel, but I wanna say I'm Peruvian and I'm so happy to have found it.

This is the FIRST time I've ever bought an item from a sponsor in all my years of watching YouTube! A puzzle box stand is a great idea.

Numbers: You have a great memory for shades of colours and intricate shapes! Amazing! Keep the puzzle 🧩 cheer flowing. 🖖🏼

My mom and I did do one of these "World's Most Difficult Puzzles"! It was an image of a bunch of dalmatians, which I think was easier than this sudoku one because you use the spots to see if placement was right. One thing I noticed when building the puzzle was that the way the image was rotated on that one, each piece existed in duplicate, so there would be two pieces with the front and the back images matched exactly. And these pieces were reflected over the diagonal. So what we ended up doing was sorting all the pieces by matching them to their twin, placing the pieces that were in that diagonal (which was the same section of the image on front and back, just rotated 90 degrees) and then once we knew where one piece went, we were able to discern where its twin went. Hopefully that makes a bit of sense? Idk if it would have help with this one since there was less differentiation in the image, but might be worth a shot if you ever try any of the others! (Numbers)

Wow. This is something I would never tackle but loved watching it. You are a wizard.
