If you need/want a small distraction this week, here’s a set of three puzzles that you can work on, and each correctly solved puzzle contributes funds to some food banks. For this edition of the contest there’s a crossword-type puzzle, a logic puzzle, and a word puzzle (for lack of a better description).
You also get an entry into a contest with one of my favorite mechanism: Your goal is simply to select the lowest unique number that will be selected - that’s it!
The deadline is Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 11:59 PM Central Time for submissions. Enjoy!
