CRYPTOGRAMS
Saturday June 2
by Catspaws
Some of you may have noticed I haven't been around a lot of late. Seems the kitty came down with some exotic feline ailment, but I'm better now, and so expect to see the mice of Fed go back into hiding - Kitty's back on the job!
This was a good week to be back, as something unexplained happened: several times, other players solved a puzzle BEFORE FANCY! Yes, indeed, miracles DO happen! In fact Ariadne started the game off solving the first puzzle before our Top Cat did.

It looked like Fancy had it made going into the last puzzle, but then... Ariadne and Revone BOTH solved it before Fancy did. This put Fancy and Ariadne in a tie for first, so I had to write up a fast tie-breaker puzzle.

Fancy managed to easily solve the tiebreaker before Ariadne could take a breath, taking home the trophy. Revone finished third, and Nutoid came in fourth.

We play Cryptograms each Saturday at 4.00pm eastern on the Cryptograms channel. Perhaps next week YOU can give Fancy a run for the money!
