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.

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

Here’s the answer key to the November Mid-Month Mousy Mindboggler Word Search:

There were 36 responses to the word search puzzle on PIXAR Characters. There was a bit of a mix-up in the solution for this puzzle, though. I apologize! There were two ANDY’s in the puzzle, so there were two possible solutions! The first 10 unused letters in the puzzle were either GVXYPJBJNR or GVXPJBJNRP. I accepted either answer.

The winner of a Sorcerer Mickey pin was Joel S. of Plainfield, IL. Again, sorry for the confusion, and thanks for playing!

This month we are going to have another word search puzzle, but since it’s the holiday season, the subject will be Disney during the Holidays.

Visiting the Disney theme parks during the holidays is a special time. From the decorations to the special entertainment events, it is a wonderful time to visit.

Here’s the link to the new word search puzzle:
