From the Notebook of

The Easter Bunny

Dear Noelle,

Ready for a challenge?

I've been around. Ran cross-country before there were countries to cross. Once challenged Usain Bolt to a 100-meter dash—let's just say rabbits have a natural advantage off the blocks, but I may have gotten distracted by a particularly delicious-looking patch of clover at the 80-meter mark.

Soccer? Please. I invented the bicycle kick. True story. It was 1847, I was showing off for some field mice, and I accidentally scored on myself. We don't talk about that part.

And music—I was the original drummer for a little band called The Rolling Stones. They said my foot-thumping was “too intense” and “literally shaking the building” and “sir, this is a Wendy's.” Their loss.

I've created TWO special puzzles just for you! Each one will reveal a jelly bean trail color to help you find your Easter surprises.

How each puzzle works

  • 01 Solve two Wordle-style word puzzles
  • 02 Find those words (plus a special Spangram) in a letter grid
  • 03 The leftover letters reveal your jelly bean trail color

Between you and me, my buddy Lionel Messi bet me a golden egg that you couldn't solve these. Something about “humans not being able to think like a rabbit.” Let's prove that goat wrong, shall we? (Get it? GOAT? I'll see myself out.)
