A reader is invited to solve a new Post puzzle titled 300 First Prize Read the Big List of Magnificent Prizes for Solving the Post's New Puzzle, promising a grand array of rewards and challenges for participants.
A puzzle asks how many times the phrase The Washington Post appears in a mixed fragment diagram. Readers must locate letters, erase used ones, and form the three words, noting overlaps or separations as they reconstruct the phrase.
Readers are challenged to form the complete phrase The Washington Post from letters in a chart. Count how many times the exact words can be assembled, allowing partial picks and leftover letters, with encouragement to use as many as possible.
Readers are urged to send estimates with payment for one 60 cent entry or two estimates with 70 cents for both Daily and Sunday editions. Tie settlements rely on skill, with prize rules outlined. A second puzzle will be easier, fewer mentions of The Washington Post, and no money required for entry. Multiple ties may lead to prize division.
A long list details prizes for a contest ending Saturday December 17. Top rewards include 300 for the nearest correct solution and 209 for the second nearest, with many luxury items and merchandise prizes from local stores advertised in The Post. City residents are invited to submit their entries for a chance at cash, jewelry, furniture, and household goods through the thirty-eighth prize chasing broad preferences.
