THE MOUSY
MINDBOGGLER

If you subscribe to the AllEars® Weekly Newsletter, you’ll know that we run a little game called the Mousy Mindboggler. Sometimes it’s a word game, sometimes it’s a riddle, sometimes it’s some other brain-teasing challenge — but it’s always fun!

Once each month, in the AllEars® Bits and Bites issue, our friend James Dezern (known as “dzneynut” around several Disney discussion forums) supplies us with a puzzle of his own design. The puzzles have some sort of Disney theme, of course, but will not be restricted to the Disney theme parks. The type of puzzle is up to James. Also up to him? The bestowing of a prize — a collectible Disney pin from his extensive collection.

Around the middle of each month, James also Shares the Magic in another way — by posting a puzzle here in this AllEars.Net Guest Blog. Again, the subject of the puzzle will vary, and James will award the winner of the challenge a collectible Disney pin!

James says: This month we continue with the animated character series. That lovable pup, Pluto is next.

Here’s the link to this month’s puzzle:

So… Think you know Disney inside and out? Put on your thinking cap!

The object is to have fun, of course, but if you want a chance to win a Disney collectible pin, arrange the letters that are circled in the puzzle to come up with the answer to the bonus question, which relates to the puzzle theme. Send your resulting answer IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF AN EMAIL addressed to [email protected]. Send the bonus term or phrase no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 10, 2014. All correct answers will be entered into a random drawing, and the winner will be awarded a Disney pin. The answers and drawing winner will be posted in this Guest Blog, along with a new puzzle, in mid-April.

Thanks everyone for playing!

And GOOD LUCK!

FEBRUARY SOLUTION:

Here is the answer key to last month’s Mid-Month Mousy Mindboggler:

The name of Goofy’s duck decoy in the 1947 short, “Foul Hunting” was Clementine. We received 65 correct responses.

The winner of this month’s random drawing from all the correct responses was Michael M. from Northwood, OH. Michael won a collectible Disneyland Haunted Mansion pin. Congrats and thanks for playing!
