May World of Puzzles Hedgehogs & Worms Contest Alert: There is an error in the instructions for this contest. The instructions state that “the hedgehog answers’ faces (first letters) are the red squares, and the other letters, starting where the nose points, curl clockwise or counterclockwise (you decide) around that central square, starting from…oh, you decide.” As the last part of that sentence indicates, the aforementioned “noses” (pointers) were omitted in order to make the puzzle more challenging. We apologize for any confusion, and we thank reader Sheila Masterson for bringing it to our attention.
