Hello Everyone.

I want to credit Amanda Marlowe for all her work on the puzzle pack and its website. She has done an excellent job.


If you are a mere mortal puzzler like me, you may need some help.

Puzzle Packet Hints are Available

Hints for The Sum of All Writers Puzzle Packet are now available at the answer checker and hint web page linked in the Puzzle Packet PDF. The hints help you get a nudge based on where you are in the solving process. For areas with multiple hints, clicking the question once reveals the first hint, clicking it a second time shows the second hint, etc., allowing you to control what hints you see and when.

Digital Prize Deadline Extended!

Because some people may have been waiting for their book deliveries to start on the Puzzle Packet, we have extended the deadline to submit your conclusive answer for the digital prize. The new deadline is April 1st, 2025. Once the new prize deadline has passed, the solution packet will also be available for download on the Puzzle Packet hint and answer checker web page.

Have fun and Happy Puzzling!
