Hello everyone and welcome to this month’s Happy Puzzle competition!
For those of you who are new to this, for 14 weeks over lockdown we had an absolute blast creating weekly puzzles which were being received by well over 50,000 people each week. We had thousands of entries and each week a winner was drawn at random from the correct entries. As the weeks passed by, the puzzles were getting more and more ambitious and in the end, Gavin had to concede that he did not have the time to produce a new one every week. So we decided to make it a monthly thing, with the puzzle coming out at 7pm on the first Tuesday of each month.
Here is the 73rd PUZZLE and there is a £25 Happy Puzzle voucher up for grabs! By the way, the answer for March’s puzzle and the name of the winner, can both be found at the bottom of the email.
Bring On Spring
It's officially April. The clocks have gone forwards, the weather is heating up and i even smelt a BBQ this weekend which must mean that it's nearly summer. Now, because i love the Spring time, this competition is all about Spring.
This competition is split in to two parts. If you scroll down, you will see 10 questions which either have numbers or words as the answer. If the answer is a number then you need to make note of it. If it is a word, or multiple words then you need to count the number of letters in the answer(s). Spaces or punctuation do not count towards the count. Once you have a number associated to each of the 10 answers, you then need to add the total number together and that will give you one number.
After that you will need to click on the link below which will take you to a visual puzzle. If you can solve the puzzle, you will end up with a four digit number to crack the padlock.
To win the £25 Happy Puzzle voucher, you simply need to email me with a number which is the addition of the first number you came to by answering all the questions, and the four digit number you came to by solving the visual puzzle.
Please send your answer to me at josh@happypuzzle.co.uk, ensuring that you put APRIL 2025 PUZZLE in the subject line.
The competition closes at 11.59pm on Wednesday 30th April 2025. Both the answers and the winner will then be drawn at random and revealed in next month’s puzzle on Thursday 1st May 2025! My decision will be final!
