MGWCC #962 — Friday, November 6th, 2026 — Week 1 of 4 in November — “Candy Crush”

LAST WEEK’s PUZZLE:

Title: “Dark Tale”
Prompt: Instructions: This puzzle’s contest answer is a well-known scary movie.
Answer: A Nightmare on Elm Street, found by 252 solvers, 205 of whom were solo solves

SAD meta, Simple and Difficult! The letters in DREAM (in any order) were hidden four times in the grid above the letters in ELM ST (in any order), leading to the contest answer. Read joon’s review here.

The 3-puzzle mini-series was fun for me to write and I hope for you to solve! Perhaps we shall do a similar one someday soon.

THIS WEEK’S PUZZLE:

Today’s puzzle is Week 1 of 4 in November. No instructions given here since there are no-instructions solving options available.

Good luck!
