PUZZLE #534
QUADRUPLE CROSS 6

This puzzle contains a word or phrase suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!

To begin solving this puzzle, view each numbered square in the grid as being in the center of a plus-shaped cross where two five-letter clue answers intersect. There are two clues corresponding to each number, and each numbered pair of crossing answers has the same middle letter. Here's the tricky part: which one of each pair's two answers goes across and which one goes down is for you to figure out, so make sure all of the answers overlap each other properly!

Once the grid has been filled in, read the sixteen outermost letters in a clockwise fashion to get the FINAL ANSWER: the name of an Oscar-winning film from the 1960s

1) Inner turmoil for a teenager

2) Cinnamon roll's scent, say

    Flavor of syrup that Canada has an emergency reserve of

8) Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, for one
    "Lucky" digit on a slot machine
9) Bright-eyed and _____-tailed

12) Dungeons & Dragons monster that can imitate treasure chests (or a synonym for "imitate")
      Hunter Fudd from the Looney Tunes short Rabbit Fire
13) Male singing voice higher than baritone

PUZZLE #532: Moving Staircases 15

PUZZLE #532
MOVING STAIRCASES 15


The two staircase-shaped halves of a "Moving Staircases" puzzle are designed to be pushed together in two different ways, horizontally and vertically. A horizontal push creates shorter words ("Shorts"), while a vertical push creates longer words ("Longs"). The example above shows a completed grid and the grids that result from pushing it both ways. The lists of clues given for the Shorts and Longs are not in order; it's up to you to determine where the answers go by working back and forth between the two lists.

Once you've completely filled out the grid, hidden inside it will be this week's FINAL ANSWER: a fanciful noun which is not hidden horizontally or vertically.


SHORTS
From Dusk till Dawn actor Keitel
• Invented (a phrase)
• MGM's theatrical Tom and Jerry cartoons, e.g.
• Not digital, like the stopwatch from the 60 Minutes logo
• Petrified _____ (California landmark with large trees that have turned to stone)
• Pollen-producing part of a flower
• Walk like a penguin

LONGS
• "'Bees' is to 'hive' as 'wasps' is to 'nest'", for one
• Bundle up a baby
• Finished furniture with wood finisher
_____ Moon (Neil Young album named after an autumnal full moon)
• Partners in crime
• Worksite bosses such as Spike from The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Once you believe you've figured out the FINAL ANSWER, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks.

PUZZLE #531: Code Crossword 2

PUZZLE #531
CODE CROSSWORD 2

This puzzle type was suggested by Patron Grant Fikes. Normally, you can suggest a puzzle type of your own choice over on my Patreon page, but both slots are still full, so you might have to resort to PayPal if you still want to make a request of your own.

In this crossword puzzle, the numbers in the grid's squares (from 1 to 26) stand for letters of the alphabet. You must crack the code to reveal the words. For each letter that matches a certain number, place that letter in each square containing the number as well as the answer key next to the grid, with all 26 letters appearing at least once in the completed grid. As a little help, one of the letters has already been decoded and placed in the grid.

Once everything is filled out, look through the grid for a clue that will lead you to the FINAL ANSWER: the name of a company that's over 100 years old (HINT: Try reading through either a few consecutive rows or columns)


Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks.

PUZZLE #530: Insiders 4

PUZZLE #530
INSIDERS 4

One of the clues in this puzzle contains a word or phrase suggested by Patron M. Sean Molley. Support me on Patreon at $15 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase for me to put into a puzzle every month!

Each row in this puzzle consists of two answers, clued in the order in which they appear. Going across both of these answers is a third word, known as an "Inner Word". For example, if a row's two answers were JETSAM and PLEA, then the Inner Word for that string of letters would be SAMPLE (like so: JETSAMPLEA). The Inner Words are listed in no particular order, and shading them or crossing them out in each row is highly recommended.

Once everything's been filled in, all of the letters not used in the Inner Words, when read left to right and row by row, will spell out a clue to the FINAL ANSWER: the names of two fictional characters


ROWS
1) Post-_____ examination (autopsy)
    Defendant's reply of "not guilty", say
2) Nay's rhyming opposite
    Ladies "in distress" that need saving, in an ancient cliché
3) Herr's wife
    Vegetable (or is it fruit?) that's the basis of Campbell's first soup flavor
4) Long hand on an analog clock's face
    David Lee who was the original lead singer of Van Halen
5) Evoke, as a response or memory
    Iron oxide
6) Norse god/Marvel superhero with a weekday named after him
    Living _____ (1990s sitcom with Queen Latifah)
7) The Shawshank Redemption actor Freeman
    Pastry bag squeezer
8) Eyelash enhancer
    Guess a price on The Price Is Right, preferably without going over

INNER WORDS
• Beetle seen in hieroglyphs
• Early 20th century restaurant where food is served through coin-operated doors
• Fruits such as lemons and limes, but not lychees
• Goofing (around), like an equine?
Indiana Jones and the _____ of Doom (blockbuster film from 1984)
• Nirvana album released roughly two years after Nevermind: 2 wds.
• The "O" in "OLED" (which is used in some 4K televisions)
Watership Down author Richard

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks.

PUZZLE #529: Slide Show: Double Feature 7

PUZZLE #529
SLIDE SHOW: DOUBLE FEATURE 7

In each of the two puzzles below, slide the 18 letters surrounding each grid into the empty squares so that four words are made reading across and five words are formed reading down. Letters above and below the grids slide vertically to any position without changing columns, and letters to the left and right slide horizontally without changing rows. All of the exterior letters are used only once, and as a help, each grid has two letters already placed inside.

Once both grids have been filled in, pick out one word from each and combine them to get the FINAL ANSWER: the two-word name of a thriller movie from the early 2000s

PUZZLE #528
FAMILY REUNIONS 8

For this puzzle, just change the group of 10 words below into a "family" of different words (that is, words or proper names that all have something in common) by dropping one letter from each word and then rearranging the remaining letters. For example, if three of the initial entries are HATRED, UNSTRAP, and AUBURNS, you could drop the D from HATRED to get EARTH, drop the P from UNSTRAP to get SATURN, and drop the B from AUBURNS to get URANUS, all in the category "Planets". As an additional help, the category for the new words will also be listed on top.

Once you're done, the letters that have been deleted from each word will unscramble to spell out this week's FINAL ANSWER: a ten-letter word that also fits the category

PUZZLE #527: Sudokurostic 5

PUZZLE #527
SUDOKUROSTIC 5

This puzzle type was suggested by Patron Grant Fikes. Normally, you can suggest a puzzle type of your own choice over on my Patreon page, but both slots are still full, so you might have to resort to PayPal if you still want to make a request of your own.

Below is supposed to be a sudoku/wordoku puzzle, but unfortunately, the whole grid is completely blank. To fill it in, solve the clues so that the answers fill out the dashes (one letter per dash), then transfer each letter to the grid according to the coordinates below each dash, like an anacrostic puzzle. For example, if the coordinates were "e6", then its corresponding letter should go in the square in row "e" and column "6". Not all of the grid's squares will ultimately be filled in, so it's up to you to complete the rest of the wordoku puzzle, making sure that each row, column, and 3x3 box contains the same nine unique letters without any repeats.

Once the grid has been completely filled, look through it like a word search to find the FINAL ANSWER: a noun that's at least six letters long
