Featured Puzzle: The Keys to Hanukkah
Happy Hanukkah! Today, we’ve got a special word puzzle. Each row is a series of anagrams. The two down words are keywords. In each row, you start with a 3-letter word. Then, you add that row’s letter from the first down answer, and create a new 4-letter word. Finally, you add the letter from the second down word, and rearrange to form a new 5-letter word.
Consider each row is separately – letters in the same column don’t have to create another word, except for the two actual Down clues.
