I’m still fighting a Montezuma-grade case of ComicCon Crud, but I’ve staggered away from the sickbed long enough to right this wrong.
You see, I kind of stumped everyone with the wordfinder puzzle.
For those that need reminding, I once designed a title page for Hidden Things, inspired by a scene in the book. For reasons that remain an utter mystery, Harper actually decided to use it for its intended purpose, which made me really happy. Here’s my version, which is not as awesome as the version in the final print:
In the original version of this contest, I simply said “There are 23 words in this puzzle that relate to the story. Click on the image to get the big version and print it. Find them all. Circle them all. As one does. Send it back to me. Simple!”
Except it turned out it wasn’t so simple. To be honest, I couldn’t even do it without a list of the 23 words.
So, here is a list of the 23 words:
Hidden
Things
by
Doyce
Testerman
abandoned
bargain
childhood
clown
cornfield
dragon
goblins
guide
grief
jelly
music
family
friends
harlequin
lovers
regret
rhymes
satyr
Now then:
Click on the image to get the big version. Find all the words. Circle all the words. Send it to me. Win a signed ARC.
Simple!
Update: WHOA that was fast! Congrats to Paul Czege for extremely efficient use of his lunch break.
