Puzzled Cup
- The diagram in the top right of the page tells you how to fill out the diagrams with the answers to the crossword clues. The answer to each clue is either three or nine letters long.
- There are five places to put words in the grid, but only four clues underneath it. You’ll need to get that fifth clue from somewhere else.
- In each set of four clues, the first clue is the nine-letter word or phrase, the second clue is the three letter word that goes straight down the middle, and the third and fourth clues are two of the across words.
- The December holiday song is LET IT SNOW, at night is AFTER DARK, and the bushes are SHRUBBERY.
- The words from the top box are the most important words for extraction.

Puzzled Pint
- PUZZLED PAINT - You’ll never see a GRANDER puzzle.
- PUZZLED PAINT - Read the letters going down.
- PUZZLED PIN - Start with the box in the bottom left, the ones with the letters “PAY” in it. For each of the three boxes, see what happens to the left side of the puzzle if you put a hole in it.
- PUZZLED PIN - When you place a hole, make sure that you mark off 1) every square in the same row, 2) every square in the same column, 3) every square in the same section, and 4) every square diagonally touching it. Each time, when you do, there should be a section with only one space remaining.
- PUZZLED PIN - Only some of the letters in the grid are relevant for extraction. Which squares are the most important?
- PUZZLED INT - Do the math. No really. Do it.
- PUZZLED INT - You will need a code from the code sheet for the answers.
- PUZZLED INT - The resulting phrase has enumeration (3 4) and both words are abbreviations.
- PUZZLED INT - You’ll need to use that same code again.
- PUZZLED PINT-SIZED - Each line clues a word. The word has a number of letters equal to the number of ?s and *s in the clue.
- PUZZLED PINT-SIZED - The clues on the right work like regular crossword clues - they are definitions for the clued word. They’re a little vague on purpose though.
- PUZZLED PINT-SIZED - Each clued word goes with “Small” in some way. Often this will be in a different sense of the word than what the definition clues.
- PUZZLED PINT-SIZED - Some letters represented by a ? and some represented by a *.
- YO DAWG… - This is a mini-metapuzzle. It uses the answers from the previous four puzzles.
- YO DAWG… - One of the four small words is a little uncommon. It can also be used as a word for a dog. Some of the other words use a different definition of the smaller word than you may expect at first.
- YO DAWG… - The numbers 1-9 under the blanks are used for extraction.
- HOLLYWOOD
Puzzled Quart
- The clues to the left are crossword-style clues. Just start writing some potential answers and see if you notice any patterns.
- Each of your clue answers should be six answers long. If you have six letter words being represented by three symbols, how many letters should go to each symbol?
- Each symbol will have the same letters everywhere it appears. If the symbol has been flipped, then the letters need to be as well.
- The answers to the clues are in alphabetical order. You also may not need to answer all of them to be able to get the answer at the bottom.
- The bigrams at the bottom overlap a bit.
- DISSIDENT
Puzzled Half Gallon
- This puzzle has a hard starting point and then becomes much easier. Use the first four statements to figure out who the four couples are. Make sure you’re not making any unnecessary assumptions about the couples!
- Statement three is a common trick in logic puzzles. It describes eight people in a list, which means that if someone fits one of the criteria, they won’t be the person mentioned in any of the other criteria. For example, since one of the people mentioned is Anderson and another person is the person sitting at position 1, you know that Anderson is not the person in position 1.
- If you’re still having trouble putting the couples together, what’s special about the month of June? Also, once you get the couples together, there’s one other piece of information that you can get from statement three.
- The rest of the puzzle is fairly straightforward, although you will get a block of four people that you know sit next to each other but you won’t know where they sit yet.
- The last statement isn’t used in the logic portion of the puzzle, but it is used for extraction. One of the bullet points tells you how to extract!
- NORTHEAST
Meta: Puzzled Gallon
- This is the metapuzzle. It uses the answers to the previous four puzzles. (It does not use the individual answers to Puzzled Pint, just the final answer.) Use the lengths of the answers to help you figure out where they go.
- Yes, you’re going to need to do math. Sorry not sorry. Perhaps the easiest way to do this is to convert everything to cups to get rid of the fractions. If you multiply all the fractions by 16, you’ll get the value in cups.
- First, see if there’s a half-gallon worth of liquid left. If so, fill in (shade in) the space in that column corresponding to half-gallon and subtract the half-gallon from the top. Then see if there’s a quart left, and so on and so forth.
- If you fill in the containers with liquid in them, the answer should pop out at you.
- THAT DIDN'T HOLD WATER
Bonus: Puzzled Liter
- The answer to each clue on the left is connected to the answer to a clue on the right.
- Treat the numbers in scientific notation as if they were two separate numbers - the single digit and the power of 10.
- The power of 10 is related to how the clue answers are connected to each other.
- The single digit is an index.
- The bottom left grid is used for the extraction.
- THEY BOTH MEGA BYTE
