So today I decided to crack that daily sequence puzzle faster than usual. Woke up, grabbed my coffee, and stared at those colored blocks feeling kinda blank. First few tries went like this:
My Usual Slow Approach
Started tapping random colors hoping for clues. Red, blue, green – nothing happened. Tried matching yesterday’s pattern but nope, totally different today. Got stuck for 10 minutes just staring at that “3 attempts left” warning.
The Lightbulb Moment
Remembered reading about border patterns last week. Thought: “Why not check those corner pieces first?”
- Top-left was always purple in past puzzles
- Bottom-right kept showing yellow
- Corners gave me anchor points
Suddenly saw how the middle tiles flowed between them!
Putting It Into Action
Locked the corners first this time:
Purple top-left → Blue top-right → Yellow bottom-right → Green bottom-left. With corners fixed, filled the center like connecting dots:
- Placed reddish-orange between purple and blue
- Slid teal between blue and yellow
- Popped magenta to bridge yellow and green
Took only 1 retry once this clicked!
Why This Works Daily
Realized the puzzle designers aren’t changing core rules every day. Always build from corners inward. Saved so much time avoiding:
- Useless random tapping
- Overthinking color meanings
- Ignoring positional trends
Finished today’s puzzle in 4 minutes flat – personal record!
Gonna test this corner method again tomorrow. Coffee might actually stay hot while solving now!
