Featured Puzzle: Tile Paint #3 – A Day in the Garden
With as intense as things have been in the news, finding time to relax and reset matters more than ever. Today is Garden Meditation Day.

Featured Puzzle: Worms #2 – Digging up Gummy Worms
Gummy bears were invented all the way back in the 1920s, but in 1981, an unusual variation appeared. While gummy candy had been all over Europe for over half a century, they didn’t make their way onto US shores until the early 80s. They became such a huge fad that the German company Trolli created Gummy Worms, based on the notion that they’d sell because of the shock factor. (We Gen-Xers were some sick puppies – don’t forget we were the original market for Garbage Pail Kids.)
