12/30/2022 Boggling
In this S-less alphabet grid, move from letter to adjacent letter - horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, but never repeating or returning to a letter within a word - to spell out five 7-letter words. You can use the clues, which are listed alphabetically by their answers. Can you find all five words?
(I add: The part about the grid of letters is confusing. Each of these words is independent, so letters CAN be used more than once, just not within each individual word.)
Clues: make louder * one more * hazelnut’s other name * sugar pill * harder to solve
12/31/2022 Coordinated Placement
The three words coded below are clues to the placement of their letters in this grid. Each number in the code represents the sum of the column and row headings of that letters. Can you put the letters into the proper cells of the grid to spall a title, reading across?

once more in English
You’ll have to look around to see if there’s another puzzle thread, but I don’t know of one off the top of my head. We tried to use a lot of spoilers in this thread, so you can just go to the very beginning and do the puzzles at your own pace. Maybe not as much fun as doing them “live” with others, but still fun.
Or you can post your own puzzles!
I’ve been thinking of posting some harder ones, but I think there’s a delicate balance between being easy enough to not require a lot of time and not easy enough to be solved without much thought. I’m guessing the ones I’m thinking of are on the harder side.
Post 'em if you got 'em.

Goals Scored
Argentina, Belgium, Canada, and Denmark are four countries whose national soccer teams are drawn into the same group in this year’s World Cup. In the tournament, they play each other in round robin fashion: each team plays every other team once. Considering goals scored through all games, Argentina scored the greatest number, Belgium the second greatest, Canada third, and Denmark fewest.
Argentina won their match against Belgium by 4 goals to 1, and Denmark won against Canada. The other four matches were ties. What was the score of the match between Canada and Denmark, and which team had the fewest number of goals scored against it?
