Puzzle 119 sent for Pewter BlueMy first one - yippee
I guess it would be too perfect if I manage to post something without mistake. ☺After some checking (thanks to Nancy from Pewter Blue who had different differences then me ☺) I discovered that image in post and image that you get after clicking to larger size are not the same.
It's fixed now. ☺
This puzzle, the second in my Harry Potter series;
guaranteed to help in the prevention “drearies.”
A series that involves Word Finds & Crosswords to do.
(A reminder: I’ve given you a link to a larger view.)
However, series doesn’t include the encryption quotes;
As you'll see on the spreadsheet, if you're making notes.
Lucky for you, I’m keeping those separate.
A series, however, you must await them, to generate.
For now, locate Liberacorpus, a counter-curse to a jinx.
Finding all incantations here, requires some thinks.
PUZZLE #120: ~ Harry Potter Spells - Part 1 ~
Do this when you need a break from reading.
You have until the end of the August Challenge.
You can submit it as a Team, or send your best player to collect your cupcake.

Ok - so tell me was I right cause I was looking at the above image. When i clicked on the larger image the two sides were exactly alike.
I have another puzzle, to keep you on your toes.
Unfortunately, today I'm having some Internet woes.
So, if I don't keep the Cupcake Spreadsheet up-to-date.
Please forgive me, one and all, for being a tiny bit late.
In this encrypted quote, by Professor Severus Snape.PUZZLE #121: Encrypted Quote - Professor Snape/HP #1
What is he discussing; what might take shape?
You may “buy” a letter, if you’ve earned a “blinkie” cupcake.
You may only need a few, before meaningful words they make.
Or check with your Captain, to see if you might use,
Someone’s “blinkie” cupcake to get a few clues.

this is hard!!!!!!!!!
Puzzle #121 sent for Wild Blue Yonder.Every time I filled in a word, I heard Professor Snape's voice in my head. And I love Snape :). That was very fun.
How should we buy a letter? Do we email ratminichallenges@gmail.com to ask or just post here?
Want a hint? Start with the one letter you see that is standing on its own... there are only two letters that it could stand for!!!
Rebecca wrote: "How should we buy a letter? Do we email ratminichallenges@gmail.com to ask or just post here?"You can PM or mail me what letter you want to buy (encrypted) and I'll send you right one.
Or you can post here if you want, but you'll get answer via PM. ☺
Sent 121 for Pewter Blue. Easy, but time consuming and tons of fun! :)
