The Codes and Cipher series continues with weekly postings of MW Puzzle Fun. I have recently teamed up with ‘The Puzzle Master’ who now helps with the creation of puzzles to release. I’m keeping them in similar style to those of the past. These are created to offer practice in solving clues for armchair treasure hunts, and a fun way to get better at overall puzzling. They get you thinking outside the box, being observant, and exercising the mind.

Last week’s MW Puzzle Fun was the following:

As with many clues in Armchair Treasure Hunts and puzzles, observation is sometimes key. In the puzzle above it can be noticed only some colored dots touch letters. If you were to order them by rainbow colors and from top to bottom as they appear, you get the Question: WHERE IS THIS KEY HIDING?

‘This Key’ of the question suggests it should be used as a Key to answer the Question. If you number the letters, W=1, H=2, E=3, R=4, E=5, I=6, and so on, the numbers at the bottom will provide the answer: THE SKY.

Congrats to those who submitted the correct answer.

Here is MW Puzzle Fun #24. What magic number is the Wizard brewing with his drop of blood, bat wing, and feather ingredients? The answer will be released next Monday, along with another MW Puzzle Fun!
