This month’s puzzle is brought to you by Matthew Gilman. He created this last year, but I stopped working on the site, so it has sat in my inbox collecting dust. I finally printed it out last month and got to work at trying to solve it. I really enjoyed it, struggled some, and didn’t completely solve it. It is definitely up to Matthew’s standard level of difficulty \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Each answer will be worth 4 points, for a total of 24 points. <\/strong><\/span> If you are stuck, you can request a hint.

For the most part, my clues tend to be a little punny, or at least not what they seem. Likewise, some of the answers may only hint at that final category through non-direct means. So be ready to approach these a little less rigidly than usual!<\/em><\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n CLUES:<\/p>\n 1) Trying, hard (4) FINAL: This month’s puzzle is brought to you by Matthew Gilman.
