The Puzzled Runner
Vendor
I sell puzzles! I feature new puzzles from a curated list of top-tier brands as well as used puzzle gems that I have lovingly restored (cleaned/repaired the boxes, removed dust/debris, bagged the pieces) and either built or counted so as to guarantee completeness. It is a passion project of mine to help forgotten but otherwise excellent puzzles find new life in new homes.
Kristen Greer
Hi! My name is Kristen, and I am puzzle-obsessed. So far this year (August 2026) I have built 111 puzzles for a total of over 80,000 pieces! There's so much more to puzzling than just 'a pretty picture,' and having tested out over 150 different puzzle brands, I've learned a lot about what makes puzzles good or bad and, more importantly, about what makes a given puzzle a good match for a given person. I love connecting good people with good puzzles that they will enjoy immersing themselves in!
Outside of puzzling, I'm an avid runner and weight lifter. I live with my family (husband of 10+ years and two littles, 5-year-old Emma and 6.5-year-old Oliver) in Gold River, CA. Before opening my business, I earned a PhD in Linguistics from UC Davis and spent five years teaching at UCLA, Washington University in St. Louis, and UC Davis.
