              [Puzzle] All That Jazz – 2 September 2024

              This site has now been live for four years, and I continue to tinker with it behind the scenes. The answer logger now properly deals with spaces, so starting with the September-October puzzle set it should no longer be necessary to either include or not include spaces in your answer submissions. (Previously, the answers were being recorded as correct regardless of spaces, but they were not automatically added to the leaderboard. This caused some solvers to worry that their answers weren’t being logged.)

              With the new season starting, the hint for the July-August metapuzzle, Mastermind, is now available, as is the solution to the previous puzzle, Pair Off.

              September-October starts off with the new puzzle, All That Jazz. Can you find the message hidden in these sweet bars?
