3x3 is solvable in seconds. Don't bother with it.
4x4 is solvable in minutes. It's possible to apply certain strategies if you're clever to cut down on the solving time a lot.
5x5 i don't know, it's harder. I couldn't get it in 40 minutes. Due to the combanatoric complexity of the puzzle, you can usually only get a few pieces to be "confirmed" to be in a certain place - and from there the only possible strategy is guess and check style backtracking.

I would like if before the end of the day a few people with varying skill levels in puzzle solving from this tribe could try out some 4x4 tetravex and time themselves - it might not take an hour but maybe we could have a few of them chained together.
Like, idk, maybe two or three or five of them, but it's a PNG so you have to go through hell and back just to make it reasonable to work with.

I'd probably be the best for average puzzle tester for one of these, but I have a very busy and loud day today. Sorry
