Overview:
Knerd will release a new word game every day.
Each game will have three different levels of difficulty: Easy, Medium and Hard.
Just try to solve as many puzzles as you can!
When you think that you've completed a puzzle (with 100% correct answers), then PM it to Knerd. She'll look it over and keep you in mind for prizes. ;)
But be careful - Once you PM a puzzle to Knerd, you can't take it back or fix it! Make sure you're completely certain that it's been solved correctly and completely.
Rules:
The rules here are pretty simple:
- Do not post any of the answers anywhere. Posting answers within this thread, on any Menewsha forums, within PMs, etc will get you barred from this contest.
- Do not cheat by sharing answers or hints with other users. That just wouldn't be fair, now would it? If you are caught sharing answers before the contest is over, you will be barred from receiving any prizes.
- Be a good sport. Some of these puzzles will be incredibly easy while others will be mind numbingly hard. Please don't taunt others who are having difficulties or have gotten stuck, otherwise karma may just come around to bite you!
- Follow all of Menewsha's Rules and TOS.

Prizes
1,000 gold will be given to the first 3 users who submit each puzzle without any errors. This means that a total of 9,000 gold can be given out every day!
At the end of the event:
1,000 gold will be awarded to each user who has completed a puzzle from each day of the event! Any difficulty level may be submitted as long as the user has completed every variety of word game.
3,000 gold will be awarded to users who have submitted 5+ puzzles without a single error!
And 8,000 gold will be awarded to any user who has submitted all of the Hardest Difficulty level puzzles without a single error!!!
Not enough for you? Then it's a good thing that some mystery prizes will be given out to participants as well.

Today's Puzzle: Mazes!
Come on now, you know how to solve a maze, don't you? Print them out to complete or use your favorite image editing program to go from start to finish. To submit it, just upload the finishd image to a free hosting site like photobucket.com or tinypic.com, then send me the link!
Go go go! You can still submit these puzzles!
Easy! Top 3! BlackCart29, Iroase Delschatten, Foxy
!!! You can submit all puzzles until the end of the Event !!!
Day 1: Word Search
Words have been hidden vertically, horizontally, and diagonally in these grids of random letters. Your job is to find and circle each word! Print out the sheet or use your favorite image editing program to highlight every word that you can find.
This puzzle contains a set of unrelated words that, when read outloud, sound like a familiar phrase. Example: "Eye Mull of Musheen" sounds a lot like "I'm A Love Machine" when you say it quickly. So shout out these words until you can decode their true meaning!

Day 4: Su Do Ku
Ah! So many numbers!! Every box, column, and row should contain the numbers 1-9 with no repeats. Think you can do the math?
Every phrase can be boiled down into a string of letters and numbers. 364DIAY? That's 364 Days in a Year, baby! See if you can expand these tricky digits into intelligible words.

We now have our Top 3 for the Easy puzzle! Up to 6 people can still earn gold for today's Medium and Hard!

Yeah, I'd print them out if I were you guys. I had a heck of a time making up my answer sheets for them, I don't recommend staring at your computer for that long. :sweat:
