Trail Guide For January

Author name

🐾 Puzzle Path — Trail Guide

Even the best explorers need a little help now and then!

If one of the stops along Puzzle Path has you completely stumped, you’ve come to the right place. Below you’ll find hints and answer guides for each stop.

But don't peek too soon! Give each puzzle your best shot first. Half the fun is figuring out what Sassy and Rocky have hidden along the trail.

Choose the stop you need help with, then get back out there and keep exploring!

And I’d label the sections underneath:

STOP 1 — Word Hunt Help
The fifteen hidden names are Pepper, Charlie, Harvey, Rosemary, Sassy, Rocky, Bella, Katarina, Bart, Basil, Winston, Scarlet, Don, Edna, and Jake. Pepper, Charlie, Harvey, and Rosemary all cross on the same R, so the first January letter is R.

Secret Trail Letter: T


STOP 3 — Who Am I? Help

  3. Scarlet Foxx
