I'm Danielle, a.k.a. the Fearless Puzzler. In August of 2025, my brother challenged me to complete a 500 piece puzzle in under 90 minutes. He knew I loved puzzles and had recently learned about the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship. He got his hands on a few of the official puzzles used in the competition, and even had them wrapped in an opaque bag so I wouldn’t be able to see the picture before the timer started.

A few days later, I was completely hooked. Being hyper-focused on a puzzle for over an hour was, it turns out, a ton of fun and I wanted to challenge myself to get faster and faster. Eventually, I plan to take part in local challenges and maybe even someday compete in the WJPC, but we’re a ways from there yet.

This website is where I will be documenting all the puzzles I complete, both speed challenges and casual puzzles, and keeping track of my strategies for improving my time.

You can also follow my puzzling achievements on the MySpeedPuzzling website where you’ll see how my times compare to others around the world: Danielle’s Profile
