Pair-o-Ducks

Welcome back, muggles! Today's puzzle is puzzle 12 of season 2. We'll have one more for you next week to round out our baker's dozen, and then we will pack up for the season (you're in good hands though, with MikeyG's "Summer of Solves," not to mention the usual weekly SSS, MMM, MOAT, MEOW, and so much more!) After next week's puzzle finishes, we'll be drawing winners for this year's prizes. As a reminder, each puzzle solved correctly before the deadline gives you one raffle entry, so be sure to finish strong and get those solves in! We've had a lot of fun this season, but today we want to get a bit more serious. Not too too serious, mind you, we're still your favorite goofy ducks! But even us clowns can take a minute to remember. Let's call this a level 3. For last week's solution, click here: REVEAL!   We Remember The meta answer is a 6-letter word.

Throwin’ a softball at y'all this week, hope this one hits it out of the park! Hope you can take a short stop out of your day to catch up on all your favorite puzzles.

 One, two, three, four, we declare a … meta puzzle! Welcome, solvers, to week 10 of this year's P-o-D season. After this one, we'll only see you for three more weeks before we fly away for the summer. And speaking of flying, you're going to need to work hard and make those connections to solve this one, and it's a long way to waddle home if you miss it! So hop on, and let's dive in. Four better or four worse, we don’t expect this will be a level four (probably a three, but Connect Three just didn’t have the same ring). For last week's solution, click here: REVEAL! Connect Four The meta answer is one letter from one entry in the grid. (Input your answer in the form "[letter] in [entry];" i.e. "C in CROSSWORD") PUZ  |  PDF

Will these two ducks just settle down already?!? This puzzle is about one of our favorite things. Disagreements? Settling a debate? You'll just have to solve it to find out…!

That Settles That The meta answer might settle a disagreement over resources. PUZ  |  PDF
