A Different Slant..... (XXL)

Dearest Oldiepumpkin ~ Puzzle pieces are like little children - they need to know 3 things:

1 - Who is in charge?
2 - What are the rules?
3 - Will the rules be enforced?

You must teach the puzzle pieces that you are a force to be reckoned with and that it is in their better interests if they refrain from vexing your patience! I do hope this helps.

Sincerely, Rains

OP, Je suis content que vous avez apprécié le défi.... :) :)
OP, Freuen Sie gerne die Herausforderung.... :) :)

It did not take me 10 hour,"only" 3.48. But I like a challenge. Thank you.

oldiepumkin, hope Rainiqui answers your question .... I would like to know too.... So pleased you like this puzzle well enough to spend hours on it.... Thank you.... :) :)

Rainqui, how pieces falling into place? Mine don't fall, and don't seem to have any intention to. I have made 1.45 and am at ca 50%. but I will not let go, even if I take 10 hours, which is quite possible. If you have a spell, please let me know. Thanks.

Mon Ami... There are only so many words in the universe, we're bound to use the same ones once in awhile.... Even if we combine English and French... Who knows maybe someone else has used it before us and we never saw their puzzle... Pas besoin de pardon... :) :)

Glad you enjoyed... I think your time will hold up quite well.... Good job.... :) :)

Oh Louise dearest ~ I went to do this puzzle and discovered that I had given a puzzle I made pretty much the same title as one of yours from a few days back! As I told Thelma, I feel like an eejit and beg your forgiveness!

I sure had a great time with this one! Though it is a difficult one, I was surprised at the number of pieces that seemed to fit intuitively. Having said that, I'll probably encourage more people to give it a go and expect to be knocked off the leaderboard sooner than later, lol!

You're welcome leet.... Hope you enjoyed it.... :) :)

Such an interesting puzzle! Thanks for your efforts.
