Hello, Puzzlers!

A.J. and Greg kick off Season 4 with backwards brand names, clever wordplay, and a celebration of all things puzzling. Can you solve a party puzzle before the hosts do?

Play along with the hosts as they tackle tricky clues, laugh at unexpected answers, and test your skills with wordplay, anagrams, riddles, crossword-style thinking, and trivia. Plus, hear about the return of the podcast and try a round of Earbus, the hilarious audio rebus game you can play at home.

Today's puzzles:

• Double the Fun: a challenge built around repeated words with double meanings
• Four Front: a phonetic puzzle about words that begin with "four"

More puzzles:

Bonus puzzles, game nights, community and more on Patreon
