When I first started puzzling a (approx.) decade ago, I thought Heye had the best made puzzles. And, they certainly had great humor. Sadly, their best humorists have since passed away or retired. I don't care for this "New Wave" or whatever it's called now. In any case, I'm delighted to say I've been very happy with the many puzzles found through Educa. When completed, I pass them on to other & at no expense from them. Educa's puzzle pieces are well made & not a single issue have I had. And, their puzzle subject matter is exceptional. Thank you one & all.
