Seasons Greetings—We Made You a PACG Puzzle!

Thursday, December 29, 2016

It's the most puzzlable time of the year, and, as we may have accidentally mentioned, there's a hidden puzzle in the Mummy's Mask set of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. I won't give you any clues to that, except to say that you probably need more than you have right now to solve that puzzle. When you do, the first person outside the design team to email me the answer will get a free virtual high-five from me.

But I'm in a festive mood, so I made you this puzzle to solve by the fireside. The following words are all anagrams of PACG characters with one letter added. For example, the word AERIFY is FEIYA with an extra R, while MILKIEST is MELISKI with an extra T. Extract those letters and you'll spell a cheerful message.

1. HELM
2. RELIABLE
3. SPUMONI
4. IMPAIR
5. LAYOVERS
6. HONKER
7. AIRHOLE
8. LOANER
9. INFLATE
10. MIDLANDER
11. DERMAL
12. MISLAY
13. SCHOOL
14. LIFESTYLE
15. HEALERS
16. REZONE
17. ANIMAL
18. RIPSAW
19. NAHUATL
20. RITALIN
21. ERSATZ
22. LOATHES
23. ARRIVAL
24. SHRANK
25. ONSIDE
26. TRIENNIAL

28. STOOGE

Don't post spoilers! We'll see all you PACG players in the new year.
