[Puzzle] Overlaps – 1 September 2025

The conclusion of the previous round means that this site has now been going for five years! Whether you’ve been around since the beginning, or you just started solving this summer, I want to offer each of you a sincere thank you for sticking with me through the ups and downs. On the topic of ups and downs, I have begun the process of switching hosting services, so there may be some downtime in the coming weeks, but I hope in the end it will result in better service.

The hint for last month’s metapuzzle, Just a Few Notes, has been posted, as has the solution to Common Cents, the final feeder puzzle for that meta.

The new year of puzzles begins with Overlaps. Can you put the pieces together to solve the puzzle?

          Potential Delays

          I have not been able to nail down a specific reason that WordPress failed to post on time last week, so there is a chance it could happen again. If you are seeing this message instead of a new puzzle, it is likely that the new update will not happen until I do it manually, approximately 5.5 hours late.

          If this happens, apologies for the delay. I will get the puzzle up as soon as I am home from work. Fingers crossed that this is not necessary and everything proceeds as scheduled.
