Cozy Autumn

Begin by arranging the five residents using the neighborhood description.

Next, match each of the five houses to its resident. Compare the shapes of each resident’s glasses with the shapes of the windows on the houses.

Once all five houses are matched and in order, place them on their spots. Each doorway reveals a letter.

In order, they are Mr. Hawthorn, Mrs. Maplewood, Mrs. Amberley, Mr. Rowan and Mrs. Briarwood.

Read the five revealed letters from left to right to uncover the five-letter answer.

The House word is OCHRE.

Begin by assembling the two disks to form the cipher wheel.

Read the drink recipes in order. Each recipe describes two parts of a drink and hides an animal name, spelled out by the highlighted red letters.

For each recipe, match the two drink parts on the cipher wheel. Then find the tree for the animal hidden in that recipe and count the apples growing on it.

Use the number of apples to find the matching letter on the cipher wheel. Repeat for all five recipes and read the letters in order to uncover the five-letter answer.

The Apple word is BRISK.

Begin by putting the four pie cards in time order, matching the time symbol under each pie with the clock.

With the cards in order, look at the story section on the map. It shows a sequence of five symbols, each standing for one letter of the answer.

For each symbol, follow its chocolate chip across the four pie cards and note the arrow under it at each stage. The chip covers the arrow in its current position, so compare the other photos to work out which arrow is hidden beneath it.

Once you have the four arrows for each of the five symbols, use the cross-stitch grid. Start at the central START square and follow the four directions in order.

Repeat for all five symbols to reveal the five letters of the answer.

The Pumpkin word is PLAID.

Begin by finding the letters hidden on the candle labels. Each shape matches the outline of a letter on the letter grid, so you can translate the labels.

Once all the labels are translated, arrange the candles so each neighboring pair shares one ingredient.

With the candles in the right order, they form a chain of six ingredients. Find these six ingredients on the leaf strips and arrange them in the same order to reveal the five-letter answer.

The Candle word is CLOVE.

Make sure all four previous answers are filled in correctly on the grid.

Take the umbrella and, following the placement instructions, position it so all four arrows point to the indicated letters on the grid.

Once the umbrella is in place, its tip points to a digit of the final four-digit code.

The first digit is SEVEN.

The second digit is THREE.

The third digit is ONE.

The fourth digit is SIX.

The final code is 7316. Enter it at the top of the page to check it.
