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!
If I'm this proud of you I can't imagine how proud you are of yourself and your parents must just be bursting! Congratulations! 🎉 PS. The story about your your senior picture was so touching! So glad you have this memory. You'll never forget it! 🎉
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 .
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”.
Congratulations young lady. You brought alot of attention to puzzling and your enthusiasm and energy is what keeps your channel growing. Keep inspiring Karen.
Congratulations, you deserve this. Thank you for getting me into puzzles. I was just surfing on TH-cam one day when one of your videos popped up, and 60 puzzles later, I'm hooked. You have inspired so many people, and now you get to reach them in a different way.
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.
congratulations Karen for fulfilling a lifelong goal of getting into the New York Times..it's a great feeling when lifetime goals are achieved..lots of love from Australia..

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
What a beautiful, full circle moment of the viewfinder picture. Congratulations Karen! 🎉 You deserve every bit of this.
Surely another big reason to choose that jigsaw for the New York Times was that it is… of New York?!?
If there's one thing New Yorkers like, it's New York.
Literally thought that would be THE reason. Haha
