Wonderful puzzle, and much better quality than I expected. It does say Premium Plus Quality on the box, and it was more expensive than the usual Trefl puzzles, and I can confirm that both the pieces and the cut are clearly superior. Absolutely nothing to complain about here.

In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have bought this puzzle, there is far too much vegetation. It did help that much of it was colourful, but still not my favourite image. This was a basic Trefl, where you have to watch out for false fits. The pieces also had some really sharp edges, to the point where I think my fingers would be sore if I did many of these in a row.

A puzzle from the Trefl Cosmic Alchemy series. It is also part of the Trefl Unlimited Fit line, which is a bit more expensive that the basic Trefl puzzles. Apparently, you can remove the edges and combine puzzles in this series to larger puzzles. I’m not sure if the cut is completely identical (I think it probably is), or if it’s just identical around the edges.

Anyway, this was my first Unlimited Fit puzzle, and I was impressed with the quality. It was much better than the basic Trefl, the pieces were sturdier, and the cut was much better. There were no false fits. I also enjoyed the image, and this came together a lot faster than I had expected.

Really nice, colourful imafe

The crystals were, surprisingly, more difficult than the cosmos. Still a very enjoyable little puzzle.

My second puzzle in the Golden Cities series (I’ve previously done Rome), and this was much the same as the first. I did the sky first, then the water and finally the buildings. Nice if very traditional. I was again reminded that you really have to watch out for false fits with Trefl, but with no large areas of the same colour, it was all right.

For the puzzle challenge, I’m probably going to use this for No. 28, first of two puzzles of the same city. For this item, I could do Venice, Paris, Dortmund, or New York, but I think I’ll do Venice. I actually have at least three puzzles with an image of Venice, so I won’t even need them all for this challenge.

Well, it did not take long for the first missing piece of 2024 to turn up, or rather, not to turn up (it’s a bit difficult to see, in a palm tree on the left). I seem to be having a some bad luck with missing pieces lately. Otherwise, the puzzle was enjoyable and I really liked the colours. It’s part of the Trefl Crazy Shapes-series, where starting with the edges is not an option, as you can see.

For my puzzle challenge, this will be #13, Moonlight.

As I think I’ve already established on this blog, for me, no time is coffee time, but even though I don’t drink coffee, this made for a very entertaining puzzle. Especially the black background was challenging, and I had one tricky false fit. Still loved it!

Today is Mayday Eve (vappu in Finnish), when most people drink something stronger than coffee. To recover, we all have the day off tomorrow. Happy May Day!
