Party Planning was released a week ago, and the hint is now posted. The solution to Antique Tuscan Tunic, the puzzle from two weeks ago, is up as well.
This week’s puzzle is Five by Five. This is a Pent Words puzzle, which is a puzzle type invented by friend of this site Grant Fikes. A link to his most recent Pent Words, complete with instructions, is available here. A big thanks to Grant for creating this puzzle type, as well as for test-solving this puzzle for me.
Speaking of Grant Fikes, he is currently in the midst of his seventh season of Kevin’s Puzzles at Home, his homage to this site. Normally, he posts word puzzles every Wednesday, but during Kevin’s Puzzles at Home, he posts a simple puzzle hunt puzzle each Monday, twelve hours before my puzzles. What’s more, he donates to a food pantry for every solve, so head on over and solve some puzzles to help the hungry!
The answer to the puzzle each week is a word or short phrase. Enter it into the box below, ignoring any punctuation. Due to a quirk of the setup, answer submissions with unorthodox spacing will take a while to appear on the leaderboard, though the solve time will be properly recorded.
