I just noticed the choc chip
cookies. Are they for doing the puzzle extra fast?
🍪
Would you have a whole packet in the time it takes me? (30-60 mins for Hard) 🤭

BasilParsley · 05/09/2026 07:42

@thinky - yes, you get a cookie for being speedy!

Yes @thinky , as @BasilParsley said you get cookies for fastest fingers!
I think it's <20 secs for Easy, not sure of the parameters for the others though 😄
