Congratulations to Crypticsue for correctly solving and answering the question in this month’s prize puzzle. For the avoidance of doubt, this was one of the prize puzzles that she did not test solve so she was free to enter the competition.
As prize puzzles go, this was as tough as they come requiring solvers to be fluent in four languages. Radler pulled no punches when setting this one! Well done to all who correctly solved it.

If you think this doesn’t seem like a Rufus puzzle, you are right. Rufus has told us that he is in the driving seat with a special puzzle tomorrow and an online-only one on Christmas Day while Jay, the Wednesday Wizard, has moved to today. It seems he felt that wearing the Monday Maestro’s hat meant that the puzzle had to be easy, and in that he has succeeded. I enjoyed the festive flavour.
