PROGRESSIVE HINTS

Need a Nudge?

Progressive hints for each stage — start gentle, go bigger if you're really stuck.

The House Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by arranging the five residents using the neighborhood description.

Next, match each of the five houses to its correct resident. To identify the houses, compare the shapes of each resident’s glasses with the shapes of the windows on the houses.

Once all five houses are correctly matched and arranged in order, place them on their corresponding 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 word corresponding to the house puzzle is OCHRE.

The Apple Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by assembling the two disks to form the cipher wheel.

Next, read the drink recipes in order. Each recipe describes two components of a drink and contains a hidden animal name spelled out by the highlighted red letters.

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

Use the number of apples to identify the corresponding letter revealed by the cipher wheel. Repeat the process for all five recipes and read the letters in order to uncover the five-letter answer.

The word corresponding to the apple puzzle is BRISK.

The Pumpkin Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by arranging the four pie cards in chronological order by matching the time symbol beneath each pie with the clock.

Once the cards are correctly ordered, examine the story section on the map. It shows a sequence of five symbols, each corresponding to one letter of the answer.

For each symbol, follow its chocolate chip across the four pie cards and note the arrow underneath it at each stage. Since the chip covers the arrow in its current position, you’ll need to compare the other photographs to determine which arrow is hidden beneath it.

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

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

The word corresponding to the pumpkin puzzle is PLAID.

The Candle Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by identifying the letters hidden on the candle labels. Each shape matches the outline of a letter on the letter grid, allowing you to translate the labels.

Once all six labels have been translated, arrange the candles so that each neighboring pair shares one common ingredient.

With all five candles correctly ordered, they will 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 word corresponding to the candle puzzle is CLOVE.

Revealing the Final Code

To solve the puzzle, make sure all four previous answers are correctly filled in on the grid.

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

Once the umbrella is correctly positioned, its tip points to a digit that forms part of the final four-digit code.

The first digit is SEVEN.

The second digit is THREE.

The third digitis ONE.

The fourth digit is SIX.

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