Puzzle Description:

Using the Find Puzzle feature here, I have successfully found and solved all 398 5x5 (and smaller) puzzles. Including all nine 1x1 puzzles! Onward to completing all 10x10 puzzles....

I'm doing about the same, but I click the Puzzle List button, then click on "size", that sorts by size, I'm up to the 320 squares, usually 16x20 or 20x16.

I'm in the 2009 20x20 puzzles now... I use not-solved and smallest puzzle options for years :)

phew, that's a lot of tiny puzzles, good job!

Fun! I'll have to check to see if I solved them all.

A few years back, there was a spate of 8x8 puzzles. I'm inclined to blame Brian (mootpoint) for starting it.

Good to have a goal!

Thomas what do you mean by "not-solved" option?

Kristen: I have worked my way up to the 8x8's now, and there are LOTS of them. Specially the "Pick your Poison" puzzles. Nice to know that (mootpoint) is responsible for that.

Just mathing around...These 398 puzzles represent 1% of the total puzzles. Considering that larger puzzles take longer to solve, it may take years to solve to the entire puzzle database. Doing 3 puzzles per day will take 10,000+ days, or about 29 years.

Have fun with that. Keep track of how many Mario mushrooms there are. I'm curious.

Jill: On the Find Puzzles page, the top drop-down list gives you choices for:
> All puzzles
> Puzzles I have not saved solutions for
> Puzzles I saved partial solutions for
> Puzzles I saved complete solutions for

when I started, I went in numerical order for a while...then the smallest first like you're doing. But a lot of those are pointless, not so much fun. And the huge ones aren't fun either. For me, anyway. So then I started using searches with size parameters and quality/difficulty rating. I've pretty much solved everything under 25x25 with a rating over 2 1/4. Sometimes I use the "best puzzles" tab, but got everything under 30x a while ago on the medium, hard, etc diff. Or I did, I'm sure new ones have been added since I puzzled a lot

I’m also working my way up. Most of the 5x5s were disappointing, so far m looking forward to some more interesting puzzles. I wish there were a way to remove the trivial ones...

If you are using the search feature with puzzles I have not saved solutions for, there is a drop down for solvability. Pick trivial, then mouse over the ID and pick rate puzzle where you can mark as completed.

I never thought about tackling puzzles this way. I've just been going for random easy puzzles. But it would be neat to hit all the 5x5 and then 10x10.
