Y'all...I am a logical person, a rational person, a generally sane person (oh hush, I have my moments) and a fairly intelligent person.
And then there are moments, like last week, when I am reminded that occasionally I am a ditzy person.
As most of you know, I like to do jigsaw puzzles. I generally have one going most of the time. I buy my puzzles based on the picture - not necessarily by the brand which, as you may remember, has caused a problem on at least one occasion. Thank goodness, that issue has reoccurred...yet.
At any rate, one day last week as I was sifting through the pieces of my puzzle my eye was caught by the letters on the back of the pieces. This is nothing new as I've noticed letters on the back of other puzzle pieces before - but never thought much about it. Maybe I thought they just spelled the brand of the puzzle or maybe the name of the puzzle. I don't know.
But on that day, something "clicked" and I looked more closely at those letters.
It was only then that it dawned on me. Those letters signfy the sections of the puzzle. A is the top left section and so on. Which turns out to be REALLY helpful when there are repeating themes/colors in the entire puzzle.
Why am I admitting this ditziness publicly on the internet...where it will be a testament to my sheer inability to notice what is right in front of me FOREVER?
Because, I can't be the only one. Right?!
I've never heard of such a thing??!! Then again, I haven't done a puzzle in years...
ReplyDeleteYes! We have a Christmas advent puzzle and it's divided into 24 sections like this. It's very helpful and makes managing a complicated puzzles slightly easier. It's not often I find helpful hints like this, though!
