Coaching Approach

Coach the process, not the clock

Part Puzzle Mang is an independent editorial project for ambitious recreational and competitive solvers. We write about method: the decisions that shape a solve from the first sort to the final piece.

Our editorial principles

  • Bottlenecks before tips. We start from where a solve slows down, not from a list of generic tricks.
  • Flat and 3D are different. We keep jigsaw method and 3D assembly guidance separate.
  • Practice is not rules. We describe personal practice and always point you to organisers for official rules.
  • No guaranteed results. We don't promise time savings; we help you build a process you can measure yourself.
  • Examples are labelled. Practice logs on this site are illustrative formats, never fabricated evidence.

The editorial desk

Our guides are written and reviewed by a small desk organised by discipline. Each guide is checked against current product information and published event documentation before publication.
