I never considered that a puzzle, it just takes some time to do but it doesn't require any thinking

I would disagree, your brain does a lot of pattern-matching, solving a jigsaw actually is brain intensive, but it's using brain skills that we don't usually associate with thinking, even though it definitely is.

I'm talking about connect the dots

You 'solved' the random connect-the-dots that came up first when I searched for one to make my point, well done

Haha, I thought it was fun to complete it anyway!

Sorry my bad. In my language (french) the word "puzzle" is exclusively used for jigsaw puzzle, for some reason when reading your comment my brain saw jigsaw :-D

I understand, it's the same in Hebrew

Bro, it took me forever to find 1.

Trick is you don't have to. Just start at any number and either go up or down, then go back and do the other direction when you finish the first one.

I saw this earlier and thought it was just a niche joke about people not considering dot to dots puzzles... Took seeing it a second time to get the pun ffs

I don't know OP, he very clearly knows the rules of connect-the-dot, so chances are he at least has played it a bit and might even like it.
