Speed Challenges

One of the best ways to practice speed puzzling is to actually speed puzzle! At least once a week, I will be challenging myself to complete a 500-piece puzzle I’ve never tried before as quickly as possible. Unless otherwise specified, these are all “first-look” challenges, meaning I’m trying these puzzles for the first time.
