Post by hashbrown »

It's a Christmas miracle! Will is back with a final 12 puzzle season of Pandora's Blocks.

The usual info from the email readout:

Puzzle #89: Do You Hear What I Hear?
Kicking things off with a timely, Christmas-themed puzzle.
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • The answer to this week's meta is a well-known Christmas song.
  • Google will probably be unnecessary for most solvers.
The deadline for this puzzle is 9:00am eastern time on Sunday, December 31, 2023.

It's a Christmas miracle! Will is back!! Dino me!!!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta! :shock:

I'm out of the box and looking forward to this season of Pandora's Blocks!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)
