Nichole, are you still interested in being a "test bunny"?

On my computer it's working just fine. I'm not sure about yours though.....
Oh my - I was just about to send 106 for puzzle blue.A couple of questions since I am new to cupcakes puzzles.
1.Do you post the answers - I would be curious if I got the answers right.
2. If the puzzle is sent by another team do we still have the opportunity to send the puzzle for our team. 3. Does it matter who sends the answers first?
Thanks

There are some puzzles where you post the answers like the sliders but there are others like the spot the difference where you don't want to give away the answers to anyone so those you send in an email.
Each team has the oppurtunity to send in the puzzles so you can communicate with your team to see who should do which puzzles :)

Nancy, there are different types of cupcakes (rewards) and puzzles.
In most cases every team gets one cupcake for each puzzle. That doesn't mean that only one person can play. You can send me your answer even if someone from your team already got cupcake.
In case if you are wondering what cupcakes mean, your team captains can exchange them for books - some as part of challenge and some give your team advantage books.
Vert few hints this time.
And not much of a rhyme.
Still, your books count thrice.
So, it is worth the price.
In this one, a "W" must occur in a word.
Don't bother with any that are too absurd.

Are there new puzzles everyday or just on certain days?
There should be new puzzles on Tuesdays and Fridays, Ashlynn. Do you want Captain Cupcake to post a slider today? We were thinking people were getting sick of them.
It doesn't matter to me if you have time sure but I have had nothing to do lately :)
A little something extra,
for those of you who can't wait.
For a regular cupcake,
your craving may abate.

Sent to you, Nichole! Thanks.
I hate for you to go through withdrawal,
To go without, no doublets at all.
So, here's a fun little word ladder,
To keep you doublet lovers from being sadder!
