They don’t call it The Hardest for nothing…
Good morning!
One question I get from time to time is, “Why are these puzzles so hard?”
Honestly… because that’s the point.
There are already plenty of word games you can solve in a minute or two. I wanted to build something that rewards patience, deduction, and the satisfaction of finally figuring it out.
Today’s Matchsticks definitely fits that philosophy.
It took me 11 matches to solve it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥…💧

If you enjoy puzzles that make you work for the answer, I’d love to hear how many matches it took you today.
