Hello everyone and welcome to this month’s Happy Puzzle competition!
For those of you who are new to this, for 14 weeks over lockdown we had an absolute blast creating weekly puzzles which were being received by well over 50,000 people each week. We had thousands of entries and each week a winner was drawn at random from the correct entries. As the weeks passed by, the puzzles were getting more and more ambitious and in the end, Gavin had to concede that he did not have the time to produce a new one every week. So we decided to make it a monthly thing, with the puzzle coming out at 7pm on the first Tuesday of each month.
Here we go then!
Here is the 76th PUZZLE and there is a £25 Happy Puzzle voucher up for grabs.
COME ON ENGALND!
Last weekend saw the England ladies team pull off a magnificent win against Spain to lift the European Cup for the second time in a row. To celebrate, I thought we would have a football themed quiz. See if you can get all the answers below. I warn you, this is a tricky one this month.
