How Do You Prefer Solving?

This is mostly for multi-griddlers.

How do you prefer solving them?  Do you go by mid-point time?  Is it just start with the upper left & work across?  Solve the borders & work your way inward?  Randomly choose a square to work?  Something else?

I usually take it by the mid-point time.  However, if there are some neighboring sections I think might be easy to work (like if there's a pattern in the puzzle), I tackle those next.

Thoughts?

It depends. There used to be a time when I was working on high point puzzles only, so I'd just solve the parts that gave me loads of points. That way I ended up with a lot of unfinished multis. Nowadays I mostly work on those multis, sometimes choosing for a quick 30x30 part of a 100 parts puzzle, other times I try to finish the real challenges. With the big ones, I try to leave the best part of the image for last - like the face of a person or the eyes inside the face. That way the final result will still surprise me, even though most of the puzzle has been solved already.

I do a bit of everything, try and keep up with some of the new Griddlers, do some singles, then some multi's, some low scoring Griddlers and then struggle with some higher scoring ones, sometimes I pick one of my favourite authors and do some of their wonderful creations, then again I like going to themes ... or even just put one word in the search box and see what comes up ... there are so many ways to do Griddlers it's impossible to get bored emoticon

I start with the first tile and go clockwise around the border. All the way to the center...

This is almost the as I do with Jig-saw puzzles (border first). The border is often easy, and dosn't hold much info about about the picture, but You get som idea.

Mid times.. I just like going through the puzzles at random.

I start with mid-time and then once I'm over abour 75% done I pick and choose to finish line by line. I usually save a central/key puzzle to be the final piece...

A few years ago I prefered solving Multis from top-left to bottom-right but nowadays I usually do them by mid-time if I want to do many puzzles quickly or by points if I want to climb up the top solvers list emoticon

I usually start from upper left and go with rows or by neighbours. Sometimes, when I have not enough free time, I skip these with high mid-time.

I prefer Multi Griddlers but not of every "creator"

I'm in for the fun, not for the points

Mostly I take a random square to work.
A square to difficult; I start a new one and later on come back to the difficult one.
That works the best for me.
