Ellen DeGeneres Documented Her Attempt At Assembling A 4,000-Piece Puzzle During Her Self-Isolation—And The Struggle Is Real

It is now day ????????? of quarantine and self-isolation for millions of Americans across the country, as the COVID-19 pandemic rages.

Some people are more well-suited for self isolation than others; Ellen DeGeneres is not one of those people.


Ellen released a series of Instagram videos showing how she struggled hardcore with a 4,000 piece puzzle.

She only turned to the puzzle after watching "every single thing on Netflix" and reading the "entire internet."

"Let's see how this goes," Ellen wrote.

Reader—it did not go well.

Part II brought Ellen the trauma of a "missing piece."

"When I set out to do something, I finish it, that's who I am," she says. "But, I counted the pieces―there's only 3,999, there's not 4,000 pieces."

She sweeps the pieces back into the box and opts for a book instead.

But then, a miracle!

Ellen finds the missing piece!

And then things get hard again really fast, since Ellen goes through the puzzle struggle of having to painstakingly turn each and every piece face up.

She refers to this as the "hardest part" of the puzzle.

Though after "hours" of work turning over pieces, Ellen hit a new roadblock.

According to DeGeneres, her table wasn't big enough for the puzzle.

So, back to watching TV and working out it is!

In response, people are sharing their stay-at-home entertainment options...including several much more difficult puzzles.




The one positive thing about this pandemic?

We are all stuck inside, trying to make the best of a weird time in our history.





While you're staying inside, fun content created by celebrities like Ellen can also be a great way to pass the time.

But if you're hankering for a puzzle, just be prepared to struggle.

If you want to try your luck, you can get this Seaside 8-in-1 Multipack Puzzles - (2) 300 piece, (4) 500 piece, (1) 750 piece, (1) 1000 piece available here.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
