PROGRESSIVE HINTS

Need a Nudge?

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

The Silver Bell Records Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by matching each of the four lyric sheets to its corresponding

record by identifying the connection between the lyrics and the illustrations on the record

covers.

Next, use the coordinate grid to identify the correct decoder for each record. The design

and color of each record’s center label serve as coordinates, revealing the outline of one

of the four decoders.

Place each decoder on its corresponding record cover. When correctly positioned, it reveals

a set of instructions explaining how to read the matching lyric sheet.

The instructions are: “The doubled letters in words”, “First and last letters of each line”, “The words after Christmas”, and “Last letter of the shortest word in each line”.

Follow the lyric reading instructions for each record to uncover the letters that make up the

final secret word.

The word corresponding to the Silver Bell Records puzzle is FJORD.

The Tinsel Tales & Toys Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by decoding the book titles using the letter blocks. While most

symbols represent complete letters, others represent only the top or bottom half of a letter.

Pay close attention to the symbols on the book covers and combine the corresponding letter

halves to reveal the correct letters.

Once decoded, the titles reveal placement instructions referring to positions such as left,

right, below, above, and between, relative to the objects in the bookcase: the Christmas

tree, reindeer, snowman, and nutcrackers.

Place each book in its correct position on the bookcase, matching the volume number on its

cover with the corresponding number on its spine and following the decoded placement

instructions.

Once all books are correctly arranged, follow the arrows in ascending order of volume

numbers to read the five letters that reveal the secret word.

The word corresponding to the Tinsel Tales & Toys puzzle is GIUNS.

The Advent Workshop Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by placing the measuring tool in the highlighted space on the left.

Each of the five Christmas ornaments represents one letter of the final word, with each

ornament corresponding to a single object or accessory. The tinsel connecting two

neighboring ornaments represents a combination of these objects, which can be identified

using the measuring tool.

For example, the first tinsel represents a teddy bear wearing a sweater, meaning the first

two ornaments must correspond to the teddy bear and the sweater, in either order.

However, the second tinsel represents a teddy bear wearing a bow, confirming that the

second ornament is the teddy bear, the first is the sweater, and the third is the bow.

Continue comparing the tinsel combinations to identify the object or accessory represented

by each of the five ornaments.

Once all five are identified, use the advent calendar to translate them into letters and reveal

the final secret word.

The word corresponding to the Advent Workshop puzzle is MOVIE.

The Merry Mug Puzzle

Next, stack the three disks on top of one another to assemble the decoder.

For each order, rotate the three disks to align the characteristics of the corresponding cup: its pattern, the shape of the red decoration, and the symbol printed on it.

Once all three characteristics are correctly aligned, locate the section of the decoder that matches the gingerbread cookie paired with that cup. This reveals an instruction indicating which letter to select from the customer's name.

Repeat the process for all five orders, collecting one letter from each customer's name to reveal the five-letter secret word.

The word corresponding to the Merry Mug puzzle is FOXES.

Revealing the Final Code

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

Next, follow the reading instructions indicated by the Christmas tree, using the ornaments surrounding the grid as references to determine which letters to read.

Read the letters in the indicated order to spell out the four digits that reveal the final four-digit code.

The first digit is SIX.

The second digit is FIVE.

The third digitis ONE.

The fourth digit is FOUR.

The code corresponding to the final puzzle is 6514. Enter it at the top of the page to check it.
