14:41 for me.

Thank you so much for the feature! We are always delighted to see people engaging with our puzzles :)

2:04 why is the 1 in row 6 column 4 and not column 6?

audio is a good starting word

Hi I’m first can u pin me

5:46 for me

Pretty easy, but good fun. Here's a notation-free solution path for a bit of contrast (65 = row 6 column 5): 65, 97, 16, 99, 84, 66 (hidden pair in box), 55 (and again), 64, 52, 53, 96 (restriction in box 2), 95, 75, 85 (UR available, boxes 5 and 8; skipped), 57, 58, 98 (hidden pairs in box; one resolvable), 88, 74, 91, 93, 94, 92, 76, 87, 79, 19, 46, 44, 83, 81, 14, 24, 37, 23, 17, 31, 21, 38, 47, 48, 63, 39, 67, 69, 27, 11, 41, 22, 73, 72, 43, 42, 33, 32, 29.

How could you not see the 2 fours in box 5 row 6?

Well-done dude

You cheated at 16:45 Row 1 column 3 could have been 58. Made your solving a lot easier!

Say "Excuse Me". When you clear your throat!

Thanks for the link. volume is low.

Love it!

i got mad bcs i somehow failed this one, breaking my 40 day streak

It took me 11 mins. no pencil marks

I gave a thumbs up, but it still showed 0! What gives?

16:51 only with the mouse :)

Hey Colin Pedicini, Just stumbled upon your video, and I wanted to drop a quick note to say I really enjoyed it! Thanks for putting out such cool content-I appreciate the effort you put into it. Your Wordle skills are seriously impressive, and it's clear you've got a knack for it. Keep up the great work! By the way, if you're into retro cartoons, I've got a channel that publishes them daily. I think you might dig it, so feel free to check it out if you're interested. Looking forward to more of your videos! Best, @retrocartoons123

Hey mate a did it in 30 min 😭 and it i got like 10 min stuck with something so obvious but a didnt saw it xD GG good puzlzes

Hey Minute 3:25 you got lucky there becouse you actuly need 4578. good job anyway!

16:32, would have been a lot quicker if I'd been familiar with how the website worked. There weren't many difficult techniques though, so the puzzle was a little boring.

I like the honesty of your video 😊 You went wrong at the 35.00 point- you found the hidden pair, but then didn’t use it to remove all the other row candidates and then didn’t use the box logic correctly. I’d suggest every time you find a digit or restriction, then see the impact of that on the boxes, rows and columns. I’d also suggest trying Snyder notation only at the beginning, as then it’s often easier to find the pairs and triples without the distraction of all the candidate possibilities. I hope that helps, I used to find the NYT very hard, but I’ve got much quicker and more successful by using Snyder and learning about some of the techniques to scan for.

Your puzzle already solved.. chek your website screenshot

Damn, your Wordle streak is longer than my Duolingo streak!

Bruh thats my name

I can give you 1 tip always guess audio first since it has so many vowels

Suggestion: turn the sound up on this one.

This is my wife solving a medium for the first time :-)

Saving all those kids from saying "omg first i saw this in my reccomentations"

At 29:00 there is only one 4 in row 8

Wh

Where's the link to play the puzzle? This looks unsolvable. R8C3 and R8C6 look like they both need to be an 8.

Solution path at 34:34 - or if you want to watch the first half of my logical mistakes ;-)

My wife of @21stCenturyInklings has an explanation for the stuffed animal. See "Unveiling the Nano Survival Kit: The Ultimate Secret to Writing A Novel" starting at 2:41 of that one, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isV_l9qEr7Wnepc.html

I can't see the word at the end, the End Cards are blocking it.

This was a pretty good medium level by the NY Times. Even if I did col 9 in just a few moments, followed by col 1, which became easy once the 9 was placed in r1c9, there was still quite a bit of disambiguation to do that was not immediately evident.

Good start with the strong advances in the horizontal range of blocks 4-5-6. Just a suggestion regarding the situation you were in at 5 minutes: take the longer view to examine the consequences of the progress you have made. You have a powerful abundance of digits in blocks 5 and 8 below the very empty block 2. The remarkable thing is that you have 234 all confined as a triple to the right-hand side of block 2. This now gives you the 8 in r6c6, the 6 in r6c5 and the 9 in r4c4, etc. This was a very nice puzzle, not without challenge.

Love your vids keep it up

This is one of the most difficult NY Times Medium I have seen recently. You must not miss out on the few given digits at the start: My starting path: 4 in r2c6, 8 in r1c2, 7 in r1c8 (because the 7s are now restricted to row 3 in box 1); 6 in r3c7 (because the 6s are restricted to the right flank in box 6 below); % in r1c7 (a naked 5 if you account for all the interceps including the ghost 6 in row 1 of box 2) 5 IN R2C4 AND 2 IN R2C1, ETC. Other difficult spots ahead. I finished it in 20 minutes notation free. Quite fun.

When the NY Times saus "Easy", they mean it ! 3minutes.

Today's game: figure out how often I ignore givens. (My wife was laughing with me when we reviewed the solve later)

Not bad at all. There was some challenge to this NY Times Medium.

Good show !

Doing well and getting fast ! Watch out though; when you placed an 8 in r1c3, it was still quite possible to have it also in r3c3, so a bit of divine intervention in your favour :)

Another easy scanning method, this time about the first notation you make, a 5 in either col 5 or 6 in box 8. That is not correct in the sense that if you scan the situation well, you will see the 5 is being forced in col 6 in box 2 upstairs. So you were able to place the 5 in r8c5 rather than entering pencil marks. With this, here is how I almost completed the entire lower horizontal boxes after placing that5: 2 in r9c5, 1 in r7c2, 6 in r9c2, 9in r7c4, 7 in r8c7 and r9c1 3 in r9c4, 8 in r7c5, 4 in r8c6 and r9c8, 8 in r9c9, 2 in r8c9. Just a little more wok upstairs remains needed before I can disambiguate the 38 pair in the middle row of box 7 and the 36 pair in the upper row of box 9. But the solving in the lower portion of the grid provided all the new restrictions upstairs to make that task rather easy. Done in 9 minutes without notations, stubbornly looking for locked-in digits and not bothering about entering candidates.

It goes a whole lot better if you simply place the digits whee they belong: first example, for the first digit of the puzzle: it goes without saying you have a 5 in r2c5, so why enter all sorts of candidates. I did this puzzle without making any notation and finished in 10 minutes. At 9 minutes, if you look carefully at what you have' there is an obvious 4 in r9c6. With that, a 1 is now restricted to r9c5; with this, the only place left for a 3 in col 5 is in row 7, and going up, you now have 2 in row 6 and 6 in row 5 and the column is complete.

What a lovely video this was fun to watch keep up the good work wish you the best :D

Solves in 2 always feel great, nice job

Sound's a bit too low, nice solve regardless! 🐄🤠
