    [Puzzle] Scorecards – 3 November 2025

    The September-October metapuzzle, Five Years Later, is now one week old. Congratulations to the fifteen people who have already solved it! A hint is now available if you need some help joining them. The solution to Which Brew from is also up, which may provide some extra help.

    The first puzzle of the new set is Scorecards. Games are lots of fun, but so is keeping score! Grant Fikes points out that the next-to-last clue referred to a game state that could not occur during normal play. That clue and game list have been edited to refer to a variant. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
