Seize the Day

Your favorite history buff is always attempting to put the pieces together. Celebrate their (or your) special day—birthday, anniversary, milestone—with this puzzle, an interactive memento made from the New York Times front page (since 1851) of your choice. Comprised of 500 pieces, the puzzles are made in Williston, Vermont.

Notes

Keep in mind that historic events usually appeared in the paper the day AFTER the date of the event.

Some front pages are unavailable due to a newspaper strike or a lack of relevant information on the front page for that date. These may be supplemented with front pages from other sections or regions. Please review all date restrictions to see if your date is impacted.

Pages after 1998 are in full color.

The dimensions of Times pages have changed several times since 1851. To make the front page fit properly without distortion, there may be a special border along the edges of your puzzles. The border helps make the puzzles unique while preserving the integrity of the Times' front pages.

Once your order is submitted it enters into production; changes or cancellations cannot be accommodated- we are sorry, no exceptions. Production begins immediately. All Orders Final.

I would not buy this product again

This is the fourth NYT front page puzzle I bought. Each one was laid out differently and the puzzle did not match the picture. The NYT border was at the bottom instead of the side as the picture indicated and the front page is getting smaller which makes it difficult to read the print. I will never buy one this size again

Response from merchant

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm really sorry to hear that the layout of your latest New York Times front page puzzle didn’t match the preview image, and that the changing design and smaller print made for a disappointing experience. We truly appreciate your continued support of your previous purchases. Your feedback is very helpful and will be shared with our product team for review. We’ve reached out directly to offer more help.

Excellent Anniversary Gift

I gave this to my parents for their 60th wedding anniversary. They love doing puzzles and really enjoyed seeing the headlines from that special day. They also said they could read the typeset as well, it was not blurry. I got the puzzle with the most pieces as that is their difficulty level and it was perfect. Very "uncommon" gift, which is exactly what was needed for a couple in their 80s that has been married 60 years!

Too difficult to match words

I bought the 1000 piece puzzle as a birthday gift for my puzzle loving mother. There weren't many pictures on the front page the day she was born. It is nearly impossible to finish! It's such a cool gift idea, but don't get the 1000 piece version! Even the 500 piece version would be tough for her birthdate! And definitely order a magnifying glass to go with it!

Response from merchant

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We're sorry to hear the puzzle has proven to be more difficult than anticipated. We definitely recommend the magnifying glass to help match up the print!

How come some dates are unavailable me? I'm looking for 9/24/78 but it says nothing is available.

Verified reply from Robert

We're sorry. This date is not available due to the New York City newspaper strike of 1978. During this time, no newspapers were published from August 10, 1978 to November 5, 1978.
