Questions & Answers about Jullie moeten opschieten, want we willen de puzzel met z'n allen kraken.
Wait, why do we use z'n in met z'n allen if the sentence is about "we"?
In the fixed phrase met z'n allen (all together), the z'n is always used, regardless of the subject. Whether the subject is wij, jullie, or zij, the phrase remains exactly the same. It works the same way for numbers, like met z'n tweeën (the two of us/you/them).
Why doesn't want push the verb to the end of the sentence here?
Want (because) is a coordinating conjunction, which means it links two main clauses. Therefore, it keeps the standard word order: we willen de puzzel.... If we had used omdat, which is a subordinating conjunction, the verbs would go to the end: ...omdat we de puzzel met z'n allen willen kraken.
I learned that opschieten is a separable verb. Why isn't it separated here?
Opschieten (to hurry) is indeed separable. However, in this clause, it is used with the modal verb moeten (must). Because moeten takes the second position as the conjugated verb, the full infinitive opschieten is pushed to the end of its clause and stays attached as a single word.
Is kraken the standard word for solving a puzzle?
